 Posted in reply to kinke | Will -fvisibility=public support be upstreamed into dmd? If yes, it might be worth it to get rid of export as a keyword out right in a DIP (as it introduces the possibility of linker errors that would otherwise not need to exist). | |||

No, that's a bad idea.

I fully agree; it's still very useful with `-fvisibility=hidden` to only export what you really want (e.g., in order to quite likely shrink the final size of executables and plugin libs considerably) without the blunt export-everything method (which is nice for libraries like druntime and Phobos).

Please, no. -fvisibility=public doesn't work in all cases in our experience.

Yep, I've already run into it during testing. ;) - For reference: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/fix-msvc-65535-symbol-limit-in-lib-files-lnk1189/220174 | |||
