Do this table linked, if you remove all functions, which use it?
Thanks for this try, but they DO link in always.
And I believe this is a key problem - each function goes into a separate
object but globals are always pulled in!
Yes, if you build a library the functions in a module are split into
separate object files, but data is always written into the object file
of the original module. The linker cannot split these afterwards if
any data in the module is referenced (which might happen by just
importing the module).
A workaround could be to put the data into a different module.
What happens, if you place table into separate module? This module will
be compiled as independent object file and (I hope) can be not linked if
symbols from it will not be used. Or my logic is broken?
That should work with the restrictions as described in reply to Dimitry.
