Please do not advocate nor recommend such pointless stands.
Yes, C++ symbols are harder to track than C symbols.
Yes, C++ symbols handling requires more work than doing C symbols.
Yes, many C++ libraries do a very horrible job at ABI maintenance that
for them maintaining a symbols file is impossible.
No, it's not impossible to maintain a symbols file for a C++ library.
Yes, for decent libraries it's totally feasible also for mere humans.
