Yes, it could do that. rpmbuild doesn't currently go down to that
level for C++ code. There is
some danger of generating an excessive list of requirements, since
just because a call to an
explicitly named package occurs in the file doesn't mean it will
ever occur in practice.
Not sure what you mean about C++. C++ code generates ELF binaries
and all required shared libraries are listed as dependencies. So
shared libraries' provides are complete, and requires are complete
wrt link information recorded in the binary (which may be incorrect
or excessive, but unlike Perl will fail to run at all if a library whose
code isn't actually called is linked against).
