I got some question about symbols in libraries ...


In libraries, there is public symbols and "not public" symbols
(private, static)... In C when we use the "static" keyword on the
declaration of a function, the function is not public in the library.


1- When I use a class, all is symbols are put in the public section of
the library. How can I change that. The keyword "private" in a class
is only for the langage or does it change (like "static") something in
libs ? Even in object file ?


2- Even symbols which are not "static" have there decorated name in
the library. (I use bindump to check that). How can I avoid that for
the private functions of my lib ?
What COFF is use for then ?


3- The keyword "static" is used to keep the use of something in the
file scope. If my lib is composed from many object file, how can I
"hide" private functions ?


Does somebody know how I can get a good documentation about library
files ?
Thanks
