Macro Definition Documentation

hint_internal_linkage

#define hint_internal_linkage

[[internal_linkage]]

Changes the linkage type of the declaration to internal. This is similar to C-style static, but can be used on classes and class methods. When applied to a class definition, this attribute affects all methods and static data members of that class. This can be used to contain the ABI of a C++ library by excluding unwanted class methods from the export tables.

Warning

probably subsumed by hint_visibility("hidden")

hint_preferred_name

#define hint_preferred_name

(

x

)

portable [[clang::preferred_name(x)]] annotations

Can be applied to a template struct to provide better names for some concrete instantiations

hint_weak

#define hint_weak

[[weak]]

used to generate a symbol that can be easily overriden by the linker.
