------- Additional Comments From d dot g dot gorbachev at gmail dot com 2009-10-03 00:28 ------- Created an attachment (id=4249) --> (http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=4249&action=view) Patch
This patch adds a new `--exclude-all-symbols' option. It does not affect the existing behavior, thus more chances that it will be accepted. Both `--export-all-symbols' and `--exclude-all-symbols' are needed, because it's a 3-way choice -- export everything, export nothing, and export something. When these options are used together, `--exclude-all-symbols' takes precedence. By the way, the description of auto-export behavior is not quite correct: > If `--export-all-symbols' is not given explicitly on the > command line, then the default auto-export behavior will be > _disabled_ if either of the following are true: > > * A DEF file is used. > Using a DEF file turns off the normal auto-export behavior, > unless the `--export-all-symbols' option is also used. In reality, if a DEF file does not export any symbols, using it does not turn auto-export off. (Having no talent of speaking, I do not dare to change the documentation.) Another way to fix this problem would be to modify the auto-export behavior in accordance with the existing documentation. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9790 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
