Re: [boost] Specifying symbols, that have to be exported from shared library

Boost libraries that are built as shared libraries (e.g., filesystem, datetime) explicitly specify symbols that have to be exported, but only when BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC ... As we know, gcc allows not to export any symbol from shared library (if compiler flag -fvisibility=hidden is used) except ones declared with __attribute__((visibility("default"))), e.g.: .... Finally, here's the question. What do you think about having something like BOOST_DSO_EXPORT/*IMPORT in boost?

It would be nice. Care of work on a patch? - Volodya
