     13 dnl Does *not* test for __visibility__("protected") - which has tricky
     14 dnl semantics (see the 'vismain' test in glibc) and does not exist e.g. on
     15 dnl MacOS X.
     16 dnl Does *not* test for __visibility__("internal") - which has processor
     17 dnl dependent semantics.
     18 dnl Does *not* test for #pragma GCC visibility push(hidden) - which is
     19 dnl "really only recommended for legacy code".
     20 dnl Set the variable CFLAG_VISIBILITY.
