title: Visual C++: Hide Symbols in Static Library
body: <p>Is it possible to hide (obfuscate) symbols in a static library built with the MSVC++ toolchain? I am searching for a solution other than using an unnamed namespace or switching to a .dll.
  Ideally, this would be a relocatable object file, as described e.g. here (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3276474/symbol-hiding-in-static-libraries-built-with-xcode-gcc">Symbol hiding in static libraries built with Xcode/gcc</a>).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
