The rules are quite complex and sorry that I am unable to describe them...

If we don't clone `VisibilityAttr`, the best I can come up with is the
following patch
--- a/clang/lib/AST/Decl.cpp
+++ b/clang/lib/AST/Decl.cpp
@@ -375,6 +375,9 @@ static bool shouldConsiderTemplateVisibility(const
FunctionDecl *fn,
if (!specInfo->isExplicitInstantiationOrSpecialization())
return true;
+ if (specInfo->getTemplate()->getTemplatedDecl()->hasAttr<VisibilityAttr>())
+ return false;
+
return !fn->hasAttr<VisibilityAttr>();
}
test71 still fails (while this patch fixes test71). Here is my observation:
As confirmed by `-fsyntax-only -Xclang -ast-dump`, the explicit instantiation
declaration (`extern template struct DEFAULT foo<int>;`) clones the
`FunctionTemplateDecl` tree (including `CXXMethodDecl`) without cloning
`VisibilityAttr`. This causes all `hasAttr<VisibilityAttr>()` code to behave
incorrectly like the status quo.
I think this `VisibilityAttr` cloning patch matches GCC's spirit better and
will enable simplification of the complex template instantiation/specialization
rules.
