That would be a 'no' then. Paul's patches: 2000-11-09 Paul Sokolovsky * pe-dll.c (auto_export): pass (optional) bfd containing symbol to allow for contextual filtering. Filter all symbols coming from libgcc.a. Also, filter all symbols starting with two underscores. Finally, do not re-export symbols imported from DLLs. However, he wrote in the message quoted above (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-11/msg00637.html) that filtering all symbols with two leading underscores was too much, and had to back that portion out. He proposed replacing *that portion* with smarter contextual filtering, but apparently has not yet done so. This particular patch is a great idea IMO, but probably isn't quite ready for prime time. FWIW, the patch you are referring to must be this one: 2000-10-04 Paul Sokolovsky * pe-dll.c (make_one): Do not generate code thunk for DATA exports. (process_def_file): deduce DATA flag for auto-export sumbols. Thanks for the clarification. --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
