[18.04 FEAT] rebase qclib >= 1.3.0

------- Comment From <email address hidden> 2018-01-22 04:23 EDT-------
New version 1.3.1. of qclib available

http://tuxweb.boeblingen.de.ibm.com/sandbox/devworksv18/linux/linux390/qclib.html

Please pick up this release to also include the bugfixes..

Many thanks

-int qc_is_nonempty_ebcdic(struct qc_handle *hdl, const unsigned char *buf, unsigned int buflen);
+int qc_is_nonempty_ebcdic(__u64 *str);

Above function appears to be exported by the 1.1.0 api/abi and is broken in 1.3.0, no?

Either library abi needs to be bumped, or above function signature change reverted and a new one added, or both functions need to be provided, with the new signature the default one, yet older implementation still available and marked as @Base 1.1.0 symbol, no?

I cannot access the URL listed for 1.3.1, thus above is about 1.3.0 release. How can I access the 1.3.1 release to see if above issue is already resolved?

Right, qc_is_nonempty_ebcdic() changed its signature. However, that function is not intended for external use, that's why it's part of the internal header query_capacity_int.h instead of query_capacity.h.
We didn't bother to prevent the export of any of the functions defined in the internal header at all - maybe that's something to look at in a future version.
And, no, 1.3.1 won't fix this.
Do you have any application that's linked against that function, or did some tool complain?

New version 1.3,1 is now available from

Well, it is simply an ABI incompatibility that I have noticed. I do not believe there are any users / linking issues in the Ubuntu archive.

Maybe next time ABI is bumped, hiding these functions, might make sense.

This bug was fixed in the package qclib - 1.3.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
qclib (1.3.1-0ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium
