1 1 3.5.2 HIDDEN 1 ------------ 1 1 For ELF targeted ports, define a symbol that will be hidden and won't be 1 exported. The syntax is 'HIDDEN(SYMBOL = EXPRESSION)'. 1 1 Here is the example from ⇒Simple Assignments, rewritten to use 1 'HIDDEN': 1 1 HIDDEN(floating_point = 0); 1 SECTIONS 1 { 1 .text : 1 { 1 *(.text) 1 HIDDEN(_etext = .); 1 } 1 HIDDEN(_bdata = (. + 3) & ~ 3); 1 .data : { *(.data) } 1 } 1 In this case none of the three symbols will be visible outside this 1 module. 1
