mapfile

[Ajay Bansal]

But it does not solve the purpose. So.. That means that gcc (RedHat
Linux) does not have anything like sun compilers/hp/windows compiler
have.. i.e. to have a mapfile/symfile & then export only the required
symbols exported/

Of course, code within the compilation unit can always pass (or return)
pointers to static elements to code outside the compilation unit.  I
have never done this across shared library boundaries, but I do not see
why it should fail.

Naturally, this might be a kind of kludgy solution to your problem. :)
