I don't plan to fix this right now, but I thought I'd kick off a discussion on the topic so I can go back to this when we think about fixing it. All we have in glibc right now is a text file: elf/rtld-debugger-interface.txt We should promote this to the glibc manual and document the interface as something for which we provide ABI promises e.g. the probes won't go away. We document *other* probes in manual/probes.texi, but we should add a section for stable guaranteed probes, and discuss a way to deprecate the probes should we ever need to do that. -- Cheers, Carlos.
