[cfe-dev] strange behavior when compile with -fvisibility-inlines-hidden flag

Thanks for your detailed explanation.

One more strange thing, remove the -fvisibility-inlines-hidden flag not 
works with some codes of our project.
I can't reproduce for a simple demo for now. Another flag we use is 
-fvisibility-ms-compat, before adding it for gcc, all works fine.
Now both gcc and clang are broken. (Since the counter code enables in 
debug build only, it's not so important for now)

I will remove -fvisibility-ms-compat rebuild with clang and test again.
