Hello!
Please, help me to understand, why and when do you use macroses like
libc_hidden_(proto, def)?
As I understood, you use them, when using this symbol by library itself.
But you could do it without these macroses, what's the purpose of them?
What for do they create __GI_*function_name* alias for function?
