Re: G++ Linking issue : hidden symbol `__dso_handle'

[Rajat <myself_rajat at yahoo dot com>]

Thanks a lot for the help Ian. Yeah I could see allmost all the libs are showing this,
$ readelf -s <Lib_Name> | grep "__dso_handle"
    99: 00034dc0     0 OBJECT  LOCAL  HIDDEN   22 __dso_handle
Does this present in the symbol table ? Whats the significance of it?

Thanks,
Rajat

Use readelf -s to find out which shared library is referring to
__dso_handle.  Figure out why it is doing that.
