Commit 2fab8fbc0c4f1c4cbe889de4cead5f7457a19f77 (symbols: Implement install and remove operations for mod_symname_hash) added new member variable mod_symname_hash in the middle of struct symbol_table_data: diff --git a/defs.h b/defs.h index cbd45e5..bbdca79 100644 --- a/defs.h +++ b/defs.h @@ -2755,6 +2755,7 @@ struct symbol_table_data { double val_hash_searches; double val_hash_iterations; struct syment *symname_hash[SYMNAME_HASH]; + struct syment *mod_symname_hash[SYMNAME_HASH]; struct symbol_namespace kernel_namespace; struct syment *ext_module_symtable; struct syment *ext_module_symend; which breaks compatibility of struct symbol_table_data for extension modules. In general, new member variables must be added at the end of structures to maintain compatibility of data structures shared among extension modules.
