Hi,
I wonder if someone could point out my error. I've defined a function,
nothing special, takes a couple of args and returns a pointer to a
structure.
The function is not declared with any special keywords. It is not static.
Yet, when compiled with gcc on Solaris and a .so target is built with
libtool, the function is reported by nm as LOCAL, instead of GLOBAL.
Why? Other functions in the project come out as GLOBAL. If I run nm
against the .o file in .libs the function is GLOBAL. So the linker is
obviously deciding when building the .so that this particular function
must be LOCAL.
As I'm not using the static keyword, I don't understand why this could
be happening. What am I missing?
