- Subject: non-virtual thunk functions
Hi,
I have a couple of questions relating to the "non-virtual thunk to
Foo::Bar" symbols that are emitted for C++ code on Linux. First, what
exactly are these thunks used for? Secondly, is it possible for these
thunks to be stripped out, when the method in question has hidden
visibility (via the visibility attribute)? I'm using gcc 3.3.2 on
Fedora Core 1.
Thanks.
