AVRO-1358. C: Hide symbols that aren't part of the public API.
Right now we're doing this via GCC visibility pragmas. The only symbols that
should be exported by libavro.so begin with `avro_` or `AVRO_`.
> internal version of jansson exports the jansson symbols which collide with
> json-c and jansson libraries

> Key: AVRO-1358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1358
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: c
> Affects Versions: 1.7.4
> Environment: linux
> Reporter: External Builds
> Attachments: 0001-Hide-Jansson-symbols-in-Avro-library.patch
>
>
> The 1.7.x version of AVRO includes an "internal" copy of jansson library, but
> it also exports all of the jansson symbols which will collide with other
> libraries. The symbol 'json_object_get' will collide with the json-c library
> and all of the 'json_*' symbols collide with the external jansson library.
> If you don't want to have an external dependency on 'jansson' then it seems
> that the symbols will need to have a hidden visibility or some other
> mechanism to keep them from being exported with the AVRO library.
> As a temporary solution we have wrapped the internal jansson functions with
> this so they are hidden:
> #pragma GCC visibility push(hidden)
> json_function()
> #pragma GCC visibility pop
> Many other solutions exist. I don't see that having an external dependency is
> such a drawback, as many other open source packages have dependencies on
> other open source packages, but any solution would be appreciated.
> Thanks!
