Trying to set the symbol to external doesn't seem to change things:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
extern __attribute__((visibility("default"))) void foo() {
}
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
@autoreleasepool {
NSLog(@"The correct address is %p", &foo);
NSLog(@"dlsym returns %p", dlsym(RTLD_SELF, "foo"));
}
return 0;
}
Debug mode:
2013-10-18 12:28:41.565 dlsymtest[95471:303] The correct address is 0x100000e40
2013-10-18 12:28:41.576 dlsymtest[95471:303] dlsym returns 0x100000e40

2013-10-18 12:30:42.236 dlsymtest[95518:707] dlsym returns 0x0
Looking at the Mach-O binary, _foo is listed as an external symbol in the
binary built in Debug mode, but not for the archived binary. It may be that the
strip program removes external symbols that it sees as unnecessary.
