[Bug c++/21581] (optimisation) Functions in anonymous namespaces should default to "hidden" visibility

[sabre at nondot dot org]

------- Comment #13 from sabre at nondot dot org  2006-03-21 18:03 -------
Pardon the potentially silly question here, but why 'hidden'?  Why not
TREE_PUBLIC(decl) = 0?  It seems that members of anonymous namespaces should be
completely internal, and not depend on platform support for hidden visibility.

If I understand correctly, marking something hidden places more slightly more
burden on the static linker than marking it internal, and not all platforms
support hidden.

Should I (re)open a new bug for to request TREE_PUBLIC(decl) = 0 behavior?
