There is a problem only for documented libraries and for dependent libraries of documented libraries. Would you recommend to rename the functions at the C source code level? Through #defines or asm directives? Or are there solutions at library level? For example is it possible for a library A to export a symbol S, such that when B depends on A and C depends on B, B can use S, but C cannot?
