        <pre>Hidden visibility attribute on an out-of-class definition of a template class
method is ignored.
Compare the following.


Attribute on the in-class declaration works:
$ cat good.cc
template<class T>
class A {
  void f(T t);
};

template<class T> __attribute__((visibility("hidden")))
void A<T>::f(T t) {}

template class A<int>;

$ clang++ ../llvm/good.cc -c && objdump -t good.o | grep ' F ' | c++filt
0000000000000000  w    F .text._ZN1AIiE1fEi    000000000000000d .hidden
A<int>::f(int)


Attribute on the out-of-class definition ignored:
$ cat bad.cc

class A {
  void f(T t);
};

template<class T>
__attribute__((visibility("hidden")))
