/* An array of strings harvested from --require-text-symbol= 
   flags.

   Each string specifies a pair: a soname pattern and a text symbol
   name pattern, separated by a colon.  The patterns can be written
   using the normal "?" and "*" wildcards.  For example:
   ":*libc.so*:foo?bar".

   These flags take effect when reading debuginfo from objects.  If an
   object is loaded and the object's soname matches the soname
   component of one of the specified pairs, then Valgrind will examine
   all the text symbol names in the object.  If none of them match the
   symbol name component of that same specification, then the run is
   aborted, with an error message.

   The purpose of this is to support reliable usage of marked-up
   libraries.  For example, suppose we have a version of GCC's
   libgomp.so which has been marked up with annotations to support
   Helgrind.  It is only too easy and confusing to load the 'wrong'
   libgomp.so into the application.  So the idea is: add a text symbol
   in the marked-up library (eg), "annotated_for_helgrind_3_6", and
   then give the flag

     --require-text-symbol=:*libgomp*so*:annotated_for_helgrind_3_6

   so that when libgomp.so is loaded, we scan the symbol table, and if
   the symbol isn't present the run is aborted, rather than continuing
   silently with the un-marked-up library.  Note that you should put
   the entire flag in quotes to stop shells messing up the * and ?
   wildcards. */
