Difficulties when using script-version file for exporting functions with binutils 2.19.1

[Juan Renau]

Hello everybody

 

I have just upgraded the bintuils from 2.16 to the 2.19.1 and I’m having some new difficulties when using a script version-file.

 

I use a script-version file to export some not-explicit exported C-functions by the DLL.  The objects for the DLL are built using g++ -fvisibility-hidden.

 

When using the 2.16 ld I can export these functions by adding them into the global section of the version file. This does not work any longer, when using the 2.19.1 ld. However, I can in both cases successfully hide explicitly-exported functions using the version file.  

 

{ global:  f; local: g; }

 

I have attached a very simple program reproducing this behaviour. Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Kind regards

Juan Renau
