How to deal with symbol collisions between statically linked libraries?

At least in the case of static libraries you can work around it quite conveniently.

This is not just an extension of modern compilers; the current C standard also requires the compiler to support reasonably long external names. I forget the exact length but it's something like 31 characters now if I remember right.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
