------- Additional Comments From ghost at cs dot msu dot su 2005-08-31 14:31 ------- You might be formally right, but what about practical consequences? Unless *all* libraries I use have push/pops in *every single header*, using -fvisibility for my own library can result in crash. So for a large application you'd need to get authors of all used libraries to "fix" them! Note that even libstdc++ does not have this at the moment. This makes -fvisibility just useless.
