C compilation units have a static section which isn't exposed to the outside world (i.e. other compilation units): https://www.codingfriends.com/index.php/2010/07/13/static-in...

I don't know, but I do know I'm in the middle of making sure any non-static symbol name in libui either has a prefix of ui[capital letter] or uipriv[capital letter] to at least ameliorate this madness.

Yeah, only ui might not be a great prefix. It is a problem when names clash, and annoying to work around. Either you rename one of them, or you can wrap one library in a library of your own that changes the names.
