# define compat_symbol(lib, local, symbol, version) \
compat_symbol_reference (lib, local, symbol, version)
+/* This is similar to compat_symbol, but allows versioning the same symbol
+ to multiple version without having multiple symbol definitions. For
+ instance:
+
+ #if (SHLIB_COMPAT (libpthread, GLIBC_2_1_2, GLIBC_2_2))
+ compat_symbol_unique (libc, old_foo, GLIBC_2_1_2)
+ #endif
+
+ #if (SHLIB_COMPAT (libpthread, GLIBC_2_2_6, GLIBC_2_3))
+ compat_symbol_unique (libc, old_foo, GLIBC_2_2_6)
+ #endif
+
+ Internally it creates a unique strong alias to the input symbol and
+ creates one compat_symbol on the alias. Using the above example,
+ it is similar to:
+
+ #if (SHLIB_COMPAT (libpthread, GLIBC_2_1_2, GLIBC_2_2))
+ strong_alias (old_foo, old_foo__COUNTER__)
+ compat_symbol (libc, old_foo__COUNTER__, foo, GLIBC_2_2)
+ #endif.
+
+ With __COUNTER__ being a monotonic number generated by the compiler. */
