Preprocessed source to reproduce the issue.

We have a problem in Boost.Regex where compiling with clang++
-fvisibility=hidden results in certain explicit template instantiations not
being visible from the final shared library - while the same code with g++ is
just fine.  Further more the template instances are marked "W" in the object
file, yet somehow still end up being hidden in the final .so regardless of
whether g++ or clang++ is used as the linker.

I've tried pretty hard to boil this down to a simple test case - but miserably
failed as all the simple cases work as expected.  So the attached test case is
our code pre-processed with g++, and can then be compiled with either g++ or
clang.

To reproduce, build with:

clang++ -fvisibility=hidden -DBOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK -shared -I../../.. -fPIC  -o
t.so instances-gcc-pp.cpp

Or

g++ -fvisibility=hidden -DBOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK -shared -I../../.. -fPIC  -o
t.so instances-gcc-pp.cpp

Then:

nm -D t.so

And search for "maybe_assign" - the g++ compiled .so will have two such
records, while clang++ has none.</pre>
