What are " exported globals" other than "exported symbol names of
functions"? AFAIK, C++ does not mangle non-function symbols.

I believe .c files should only contain static functions and functions
that are declared in an included header file. If a function that is
not advertised in a header, it is not part of API and it is a fair
game to mangle it. The only exception is the module init functions
that are part of the ABI rather than API. |
