I don't understand how this issue can come up at all on Windows.
As far
I know, visibility is an ELF-only thing, while DLLs are a PE-COFF-
only
thing. Is there some platform that supports both sets of attributes?
I'm fairly sure it's a non-issue for windows. I think that
dllimport/dllexport are implemented on more than just windows but
I'm not
sure. What they mean on any other platform is anyone's guess, but
one thing's
for sure: visibility attributes apply to ELF symbols and not
anything else at
all.
They also apply to macho symbols on darwin.
