9dnl Tests whether the compiler supports the command-line option
10dnl -fvisibility=hidden and the function and variable attributes
11dnl __attribute__((__visibility__("hidden"))) and
12dnl __attribute__((__visibility__("default"))).
13dnl Does *not* test for __visibility__("protected") - which has tricky
14dnl semantics (see the 'vismain' test in glibc) and does not exist e.g. on
15dnl MacOS X.
16dnl Does *not* test for __visibility__("internal") - which has processor
17dnl dependent semantics.
18dnl Does *not* test for #pragma GCC visibility push(hidden) - which is
19dnl "really only recommended for legacy code".
20dnl Set the variable CFLAG_VISIBILITY.
21dnl Defines and sets the variable HAVE_VISIBILITY.
