# bug-1490: ld: undefined reference to 'reset_sched_obj' when linking xce_scheduler (referenced from…

## Description
ld: undefined reference to 'reset_sched_obj' when linking xce_scheduler (referenced from plugins/limit.c's limit_job_election()).

## Environment
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._

## Reproduction
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._

## Root cause
While rewriting schedobj.c wholesale to relocate the CRUD accessors (sched_get_job/sched_add_job/etc, scheduler-core spec task 4.1) into core.c, the reset_sched_obj() function (unrelated to the relocation, a small xlist/zarray cleanup helper called by plugins/limit.c) was accidentally omitted from the rewritten file -- a transcription miss, not an intentional removal.

## Fix
Re-added reset_sched_obj() verbatim (unchanged body) to schedobj.c, right after make_sched_obj() where it originally lived.

## Verification
_Not recorded (migrated from buglog.json)._
