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

[Weitian Leung via cfe-dev]

Enable -fvisibility-ms-compat flag might have the same effect as 
-fvisibility-inlines-hidden, as my test.
I think our project should change the way how constructor/destructor 
use, as gcc/clang/msvc not always the same.:-)
