I'm building a DSO under 32-bit GCC 4.2.5 and 64-bit GCC. The 64-bit DSO has extra entries in the dynamic symbol table (nm -D libname.so) that don't appear in the 32-bit DSO.
I'm almost positive this is because the 32-bit DSO uses a static version of libstdc++: all of the extra entries in the table are related to std::vector. Some examples:
W _ZNSt6vectorIPN3BVT17FileSonarListenerESaIS2_EE13_M_insert_auxEN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPS2_S4_EERKS2_
W _ZNSt6vectorIPN3BVT3Net16UDPMessageSocketESaIS3_EE13_M_insert_auxEN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPS3_S5_EERKS3_
W _ZNSt6vectorIPN3BVT3Net21MessageSocketListenerESaIS3_EE13_M_insert_auxEN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPS3_S5_EERKS3_
W _ZNSt6vectorIPN3BVT4HeadESaIS2_EE13_M_insert_auxEN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPS2_S4_EERKS2_
W _ZSt6__findIN9__gnu_cxx17__normal_iteratorIPN3BVT15ServerDiscovery5EntryESt6vectorIS4_SaIS4_EEEES4_ET_SA_SA_RKT0_St26random_access_iterator_tag
The other symbols in the table are explicitly flagged in the source with default visibility with a traditional DLL_EXPORT macro, and I'm compiling with the -fvisibility=hidden flag.
Is there any way to remove these unexpected symbols without affecting clients of the DSO? The DSO defines a pure C interface, so no STL types are being passed around.
Here is the output of gcc -v for both compilers:
