Re: [trinity-users] GCC Visibility

+1. Not very many people know C++ internals well enough to really know what is going on with visibility support. The claims on that website are a bit overinflated (to their credit they did state this). My testing on TDE has indicated a slight but noticeable speed increase with something like a 10% decrease in core library size. To be fair this test was run on a heavily loaded development system over NFS, so a lightly used system with lots of RAM and a fast hard disk may notice no speed improvement at all. TDE needs to be built with the visibility flag set for arts, tdelibs, and tdebase to see the improvements. I would treat this flag as beta quality for now until we get widespread testing of the resultant code, as older versions (3.x) of gcc had problems implementing visibility support on KDE. I hope this helps some! Tim
