I guess they use GCC visibility support. There are a few methods how you can control which symbols are exported. 1/ If it's only used in the same source file, you can use static 2/ A linker version script, gives you full control over which symbols are exported but needs to be kept up-to-date 3/ libtools -export-symbols(-regex) support (internally converted to a version script) 3/ means the least work but also it can happen that symbols slip through unintentionally.
