  • Fix bug in cap.GetIAB().
  • Improve libcap managed memory allocation and support CHERI RISC-V.

  • Add C++ support to the run a .so file as an executable mechanism employed by libcap.so, libpsx.so and pam_cap.so. Not really necessary for the libcap build tree, but wanted to capture the details of a recent update to a Stackoverflow answer on the topic.

    • Fix broke some builds, so will revert and apply a more comprehensive fix.
