Hi Bingfeng. Thanks for pointing me at that patch, but it doesn't do what I require, which is probably fortunate because I would have wasted work otherwise!
My change incorporates the callee function name and caller function name into the new name (e.g. bar.0.foo), so that we can trace that name back to the original non-versioned function in the source, without requiring additional debugging information; a standard build contains all the info we need because it is held in the function names. Are there any versioning tests for the patch you mention?
