Visibility attributes of entities
Entity visibility attributes describe whether
and how an entity that is defined in one module can be referenced
or used in other modules. By using the visibility attributes
for entities, you can get the following benefits:
- Decrease the size of shared libraries
- Reduce the chance of symbol collision
- Allow more optimization for the compile and link phases
- Improve the efficiency of dynamic linking
