Description Arnaud Charlet 2001-12-13 14:08:47 UTC 
Since the shared libs (e.g libgtk) are built with
-export-symbols-regex on Solaris, some functions cannot be accessed
by programs, such as

_gtk_accel_group_attach
_gtk_accel_group_detach
_gtk_menu_item_set_placement

Is this expected ?

Arno, for the GtkAda team
Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2001-12-13 14:59:16 UTC 
Yes, that's why we have the -export-symbols-regex. ;-) 
Those are private functions.
Comment 2 Arnaud Charlet 2001-12-13 15:01:25 UTC 
Then why are they in the headers ?
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2001-12-13 15:26:28 UTC 
Just for organizational purposes. They aren't in the docs.
