Looks like I forgot to merge the -fvisibility=hidden changes from src:spirv-llvm-translator-14 (and the corresponding removal of 4500+ useless C++ symbols from the .symbols file) into src:spirv-llvm-translator-15. Just noticed while preparing -16 for experimental.
I'm a bit paranoid and not very well versed on C++ symbols. Can you please summarize (or point to a short explanation elsewhere on the internet) why they are useless and can be safely *removed*? In other words, why is it not possible that something already uses those symbols? (I recall rra had a good explanation why symbol files were rather useless for C++, but from memory that feels not exactly the same)
