------- Comment #5 from pj dot pandit at yahoo dot co dot in 2010-08-12 05:30 ------- Doesn't the wording - visible outside of its containing compilation unit - ring any bells?
Secondly, for variables and functions that are not defined in the compilation unit, it doesn't make sense to mark them as - visible/accessible from outside - for, that's more than obvious. Please see: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2010-07/msg00266.html There is another same thread on dwarf-discuss list, but the archives are not open for the web. (I think we need a third umpire to pass a reasonable judgement.) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45153
