--- Comment #5 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-01-13 16:43:12 UTC --- (In reply to comment #3) > What do we want to do about C library visibility? We can't redeclare all the types with default visibility, because we don't know if e.g. mbstate_t is just a typedef. This appears to fix it, but would it need to be done for any explicit instantation relying on non-builtin types defined outside libstdc++? extern template __attribute__((visibility("default"))) const codecvt<wchar_t, char, mbstate_t>& use_facet<codecvt<wchar_t, char, mbstate_t> >(const locale&);
