Description Alejandro Piñeiro Iglesias (IRC: infapi00) 2013-12-10 16:55:56 UTC 
Recently GLib modules started to do this. Rationale and original bug here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688681

This would allow, among other things, to get rid of the (currently outdated) atk.symbols file.

This would also help in only exporting public symbols. e.g. 2.12 introduced:

_compact_name
_gettext_initialization

which are exported in the DSO.

Another option would be to use libtool's -export-symbols-regex.

True. Thanks for pointing it.

Yes, probably, but I prefer to use those macros, to be more aligned to what glib and gtk+ does.

Hi,

Sorry Piñeiro, I didn't realize this bug was opened before I opened 728031 last night :) 

As bug 728031 contains ongoing work to use the macros (visibility-based/__declspec (dllexport) method) to export symbols from ATK, I think we might want to direct the work to there.

With blessings, thank you!
