Hello all --
I posted a DRuntime PR (https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/3577) syncing OpenBSD dlfcn.h defines.
I noticed that some of this dlfcn information is both in the OS-specific dlfcn.d file and the POSIX dlfcn.d file. Worse still, the OpenBSD-specific version of dlfcn.d is markedly different than the FreeBSD and NetBSD specific versions of dlfcn.d. The FreeBSD and NetBSD specific versions of dlfcn.d duplicate information that appears in the POSIX dlfcn.d file (e.g., the Dl_info struct) whereas the OpenBSD version does not have (as much) duplication of effort.
That leads to a few questions...
- Is there some sort of standard rule for which duplicated effort wins?
- Is deduplication desirable?
- (and most immediately important) Should I be keeping my PR as-is or should I make the OpenBSD dlfcn.d look more like the FreeBSD and NetBSD versions?
Thanks.
