           Summary: clang++ emits hidden symbols instead of extern.
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: C++
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: devlists at shadowlab.org

When using the -fvisibility=hidden flag, clang tag structs as hidden (even if
declared in extern "C" block) and propagate this visibility to the functions
that use them as arguments, even is they are declared explicitly extern.

--------------- Foo.cpp ------------------
struct AudioTimeStamp { int field; };
void  __attribute__((visibility("default"))) Foo(struct AudioTimeStamp
*timeStamp) { }
----------------------------------------

clang++ -S -emit-llvm -fvisibility=hidden Foo.cpp

--------------- Foo.s ------------------
…
define hidden void @_Z3FooP14AudioTimeStamp(%struct.AudioTimeStamp* %timeStamp)
nounwind ssp {
…
----------------------------------------

If compiled in C mode or with GCC, the Foo symbol is properly exported.
