src/lib/libmp/libmp.3, branch upstream/11.1.0

Rename all symbols in libmp(3) to mp_*, just like Solaris.

2009-02-26T21:43:15+00:00

The function pow() in libmp(3) clashes with pow(3) in libm. We could
rename this single function, but we can just take the same approach as
the Solaris folks did, which is to prefix all function names with mp_.

libmp(3) isn't really popular nowadays. I suspect not a single
application in ports depends on it. There's still a chance, so I've
increased the SHLIB_MAJOR and __FreeBSD_version.

great, but then again neither is the interface it's documenting.
