Hi all,

I'm porting a few kernel modules written in c++ from kernel 2.4 to
kernel 2.6

I'm now able to compile and load them.

But I'm facing a new problem: when I load a module that depends on
another, it doesn't find its symbols.

I understand that I must now explicitly export symbols using the
EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macros.

But because of c++ name mangling, using EXPORT_SYMBOL becomes a long an
dull task.

Is there a way to export all external symbols like before? I've read
the Rubini's Linux Device Drivers and googled a lot but without any
result :(
