- Subject: ld violating ELF specification for hidden symbols?
The version of the spec I have says "A hidden symbol contained in
a relocatable object must be either removed or converted to
STB_LOCAL binding by the link-editor when the relocatable object is
included in an executable file or shared object." Nevertheless I see
global hidden symbols in executables. Did the spec get changed
(and if so, when/where), or is this a bug?
Thanks, Jan
