Given a template like: template <typename T> struct __attribute__((visibility("hidden"))) S { static constexpr int n = 0; }; I would like to mark an explicit instantiation (not a specialisation!) with a different visibility: template struct __attribute__((visibility("default"))) S<int>; template __attribute__((visibility("default"))) const int S<unsigned>::n; Either solution would help me, but the first would be preferable. Both would be best. Clang does support both forms properly. Visual Studio supports the former only. See https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/T7sdzTnbG and note how GCC adds ".hidden" to the two "::n" symbols and Clang doesn't, while Clang properly refers to those symbols using @GOTPCREL and GCC doesn't. The MVSC example uses dllimport only to highlight the difference; it wouldn't be written like this in real code. Please ensure "protected" visibility also works. See https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/o3W4x5YsG
I think this is a dup of bug 77306.
Ah, so it is. Thanks for putting up with my being lazy. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 77306 ***
