[libc++abi] Clean up visibility
ClosedPublic

Authored by smeenai on Nov 21 2016, 5:21 PM.

Details

Summary

Use the libc++abi visibility macros instead of pragmas or using
visibility attributes directly. Clean up redundant attributes on
definitions (where the declarations already have visibility attributes
applied, from either libc++ or libc++abi headers).

Introduce _LIBCXXABI_WEAK as a drive-by cleanup, which matches the
semantics of _LIBCPP_WEAK.

No functional change. Tested by building on Linux before and after this
change and verifying that the list of exported symbols is identical.

Ping.

Lmk if there's any other tests I should run on this to ensure there's no functional difference.

I really like the clean up this does. It removes the unnecessary usage of the GCC pragmas and cleans up the definitions by using the headers more properly.

Please clang-format this declaration.

I think that if you are making this static inline, we should hoist this out into a standalone helper outside of the __cxxabiv1 namespace.

Is this really redundant? There is an #include <CrashReporterClient.h> after it. Is this not going to affect those symbols?

_LIBCXXABI_HIDDEN LIBCXXABI_NORETURN?

_LIBCXXABI_HIDDEN LIBCXXABI_NORETURN?

src/cxa_new_delete.cpp

Can we abstract this away to a _LIBCXXABI_NEW_DELETE_VIS macro?

Are operator new and operator delete the only functions that will ever need weak linkage? I think that using a more generic macro would be nicer. _LIBCXXABI_WEAK_LINKAGE perhaps?

That's a fair point. I think it's kinda unusual to wrap a header file this way (we don't do it for any other system headers, for example), and the header file in question appears to be Apple-internal, so I don't know if it's necessary. I can leave it in place for just the header file inclusion if you prefer, however.

LGTM minus inline comments.

@smeenai confirmed that this patch doesn't change the ABI list for libc++abi.dylib using sym_check.py.

LIBCXXABI_NORETURN?

That would also require changing the __cxxabi_config.h include to a cxxabi.h include (since that's where _LIBCXXABI_NORETURN is defined). Is that acceptable?
