I thought unless you explicitly make a symbol static, it is visible to other modules.

What do you mean by default it is exported? I got my symbol accessible by another module by explicitly exporting it. Perhaps you should try that too?

I need some help in accessing symbols exported from other module.
One of my modules defines a variable ( say X) and by default it is exported > this is also visible in ksyms output.
But when I try to access it from another module and try to print its address It always returns zero and hence any access to it crashes the system stating null pointer reference
I am not able to figure what is going wrong.
Is it because I am not explicitly exporting the symbols
Help needed.
