Which group do you mean? I see only four g++ groups on my newsserver with two about bugs and one for announcements. > You know that you don't want these symbols to be exported, but the > linker can't "read your mind", and doesn't. I tried to explain that the linker can know as it simply needs to check for --whole-archive being present or not. If I don't use --whole-archive it obviously means I only want code to be linked in *my* object files require. If the code is only required by *my* object files why are the symbols then exported?
