| <p>For ELF targeted ports, define a symbol that will be hidden and won’t be |
| exported. The syntax is <code>HIDDEN(<var>symbol</var> = <var>expression</var>)</code>. |
| </p> |
| <p>Here is the example from <a href="Simple-Assignments.html#Simple-Assignments">Simple Assignments</a>, rewritten to use |
| <code>HIDDEN</code>: |
| </p> |
| <div class="smallexample"> |
| <pre class="smallexample">HIDDEN(floating_point = 0); |
| SECTIONS |
| { |
| .text : |
| { |
| *(.text) |
| HIDDEN(_etext = .); |
| } |
| HIDDEN(_bdata = (. + 3) & ~ 3); |
| .data : { *(.data) } |
| } |
| </pre></div> |
| <p>In this case none of the three symbols will be visible outside this module. |
