While updating my drop-priv patch for nmap-4.01, I noticed that nmap *.o
files define a lot of global symbols, obviously more than necessary.
I wrote a simple script (for GNU/Linux) to find potential symbols which
could be made static:
Whew, that is a lot of symbols! But I went through them all and made
the vast majority of them static (a few I was able to remove
entirely). The change will be in the next version of Nmap. Thanks
for the list and script.
Attached script is enhanced for better reuse version of original one.
There are probably more potentially static symbols in nmapfe and other
subdirectories:
$ nonstatic-symbols.sh `find -type f -name \*.o |egrep -v '(libdnet-stripped|libpcap|libpcre)/'`
