Subject: [PATCH v2 15/27] compiler: Option to default to hidden symbols
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2018 13:59:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180313205945.245105-16-thgarnie@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180313205945.245105-1-thgarnie@google.com>

Provide an option to default visibility to hidden except for key
symbols. This option is disabled by default and will be used by x86_64
PIE support to remove errors between compilation units.

The default visibility is also enabled for external symbols that are
compared as they maybe equals (start/end of sections). In this case,
older versions of GCC will remove the comparison if the symbols are
hidden. This issue exists at least on gcc 4.9 and before.
