AFAICT, there is very little documentation for any of the visibility
stuff. There is a web page referenced as "documentation", the pointer
to which you can find in the GCC-4.0.0 release notes.
There's been a lot of discussion in bugzilla about these features, but
little else.

Thanks Benjamin. These are the docs I can find:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/C_002b_002b-Dialect-
Options.html#C_002b_002b-Dialect-Options
The two are contradictory towards the treatment of non-member inline
functions. I believe the first document is the one that correctly
describes today's behavior.
I'm unable to find a bugzilla conversation which addresses this subject.
Let me rephrase: It seems to me that fvisibility-inlines-hidden
should apply to all inline functions (both member and non-member).
Does anyone have an argument for why it should not be this way?
