--- Comment #2 from Diego E. 'Flameeyes' Pettenò flameeyes@gmail.com 2009-02-19 17:36:03 --- Mostly theorical, I'm trying to track down (and get addressed) all the positives, be them false or true, so that the situation can be then checked on new packages as a stopping issue.
Would it be possible to get -fvisibility=hidden used in Wine? I guess it shouldn't be too complex to wire up beside for the configure check, since Win32 already forces explicit declaration of exported symbols.
I haven't looked at (or actually used) Wine in a while, but if it would be just a matter of wiring up the buildsystem I can see to help. Sincerely I'd be interested in getting this addressed in Wine for the only reason that it's a popular and visible project, and getting such a fix pushed here would help the argument on other projects as well.
