The issue this patch seeks to address is that MS's compiler (cl.exe) doesn't support the __attribute__((__weak__)) or __atribute__((__visibility__("default")) syntax; so a solution must be found where cl.exe doesn't see this syntax.
This patch seeks to solve this problem by changing code patterned like this:
__attribute__((__weak__, __visibility__("default")))
void* operator new(size_t size, const std::nothrow_t&) _NOEXCEPT { /*snip*/; return p; }
to code like this:
_LIBCPP_WEAK
void* operator new(size_t size, const std::nothrow_t&) _NOEXCEPT { return p; }
Howard: Thanks for all the comments regarding the default visibility
tag on the definition. I agree it isn't needed, and that there are lots
of other places where it is missing. That being said, I'm not wanting
to rock the boat on that issue right now. So I've added it back to the
definition via _LIBCPP_FUNC_VIS. A later pass dedicated just to this
issue can bring things in to a consistent state one way or the other.
Note that we do not want to have the exact same attributes on the
declaration and defintion in this case. The declaration should not be
marked weak, whereas the definition should (which is what G M's patch
did). I've fully tested on OS X to ensure that the resultant attribute
syntax actually works.

based on the LIBCXXRT and _LIBCPPABI_VERSION defines, but those files
do not currently include <cxxabi.h> in the non __APPLE__ case. The
attached patch updates those files so that for non __APPLE__ builds
<cxxabi.h> is included if available or if LIBCXXRT is set. I'm
modeling this on the recent updates to exception.cpp.
