This is kinda wierd, as it feels like we're duplicating information that is already available in the linker script, but I guess the clue is in the name of the latter. The visibility option is processed by the compiler, while the linker script is processed by the linker and thus too late for the compiler to use. It is annoying to have to maintain both a .syms script and the source level annotations. Perhaps there is value in a script that looks for the NBDKIT_DLL_PUBLIC annotations and uses them to auto-generated a .syms file for the linker ?
