Even more minor changes to get rid of libiconv / libintl false positives for Babar [a supposed French spyware] with BitDefender. libiconv gets a false positive if it doesn't have debug information, and libintl gets a false positive if it has debug information. Or to paraphrase, libintl can't wear a beret or it gets mistaken for a French spy, and their friend libiconv has to wear a beret or it gets mistaken for a French spy.

Version 140 got accused of being a French spy, so I had to remove the beret and hide the baguette. To be exact, BitDefender and a handful of other generally fairly obscure antiviruses had a false positive in libintl-8.dll for Babar, a supposed French malware. . I seen false positives before, but never for anything with an interesting backstory. Thanks / Shinotenshi for bringing this to my attention. Tested in VirusTotal, most high quality antiviruses don't flag it. Fortunately, removing debug information from the dll makes it test clean while also confirming that it is a false positive, since malware doesn't live inside debug information. Less fortunately removing debug information makes it harder to process crash reports. To clarify, all my binaries in every release are cross-compiled from source under a Linux environment, where Windows-only malware like Barbar can not infect them. edit: well I'll be damned, another one from BitDefender for a closely related library libiconv-2.dll , except this one gets a false positive only if it does not have debug information. I guess time for release 142
