Per default on windows the binutils' linker ld (that is used by mingw) 
exports all symbols if none have been exported explicitly:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Options.html#index-g_t_002d_002dexport_002dall_002dsymbols-287

I wouldn't call it good practice.

If there is an equivalent option for the MSVC linker then I am not aware 
of it.
