Libc++ is used as a system library on macOS and iOS (amongst others). In order
for users to be able to compile a binary that is intended to be deployed to an
older version of the platform, clang provides the
availability attribute <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#availability>_
that can be placed on declarations to describe the lifecycle of a symbol in the
library.
See docs/DesignDocs/AvailabilityMarkup.rst for more information.

Summary:
Most classes annotated with _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS need to have at least some
of their members exported, otherwise we have a lot of link errors when
linking against a libc++ built with hidden visibility. This also makes
_LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS be consistent across platforms, since on Windows it
already exports members.
With this change made, any template methods of a class marked
_LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS will also get default visibility when instantiatied,
which is not desirable for clients of libc++ headers who wish to control
their visibility; this is the same issue as PR30642. Annotate all
problematic methods with an explicit visibility specifier to avoid this.
The problematic methods were found by running bad-visibility-finder [1]
against the libc++ headers after making the _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS change. The
small methods were marked for inlining; the larger ones hidden.

When building libc++ with hidden visibility, we want explicit template
instantiations to export members. This is consistent with existing
Windows behavior, and is necessary for clients to be able to link
against a hidden visibility built libc++ without running into lots of
missing symbols.
An unfortunate side effect, however, is that any template methods of a
class with an explicit instantiation will get default visibility when
instantiated, unless the methods are explicitly marked inline or hidden
visibility. This is not desirable for clients of libc++ headers who wish
to control their visibility, and led to PR30642.
Annotate all problematic methods with an explicit visibility specifier
to avoid this. The problematic methods were found by running
https://github.com/smeenai/bad-visibility-finder against the libc++
headers after making the _LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_TYPE_VIS change. The
methods were marked with the new _LIBCPP_METHOD_TEMPLATE_IMPLICIT_INSTANTIATION_VIS
macro, which was created for this purpose.
It should be noted that _LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_TYPE_VIS was originally
intended to expand to default visibility, and was changed to expanding
to default type visibility to fix PR30642. The visibility macro
documentation was not updated accordingly, however, so this change makes
the macro consistent with its documentation again, while explicitly
fixing the methods which resulted in that PR.

Summary: On Windows tests that use `_LIBCPP_ASSERT` fail to link because the assertion handler function isn't correctly exported from the libc++ dylib. This patch fixes the dll import/export issues by introducing a new visibility macro `_LIBCPP_EXTERN_VIS` for use on external variables.

Summary:
This patch attempts to clean up the macro configuration mess in `<__threading_support>`, specifically the mess involving external threading variants. Additionally this patch adds design documentation for `<__threading_support>` and the configuration macros it uses.
The primary change in this patch is separating the idea of an "external API" provided by `<__external_threading>` and the idea of having an external threading library. Now `_LIBCPP_HAS_THREAD_API_EXTERNAL` means that libc++ should use `<__external_threading>` and that the header is expected to exist. Additionally the new macro `_LIBCPP_HAS_THREAD_LIBRARY_EXTERNAL` is now used to configure for using an "external library" with the default threading API.

The name _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS_ONLY is no longer accurate because both
_LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS and _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS_ONLY expand to
__attribute__((__type_visibility__)) with Clang. The only remaining difference
is that _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS_ONLY can be applied to templates whereas
_LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS cannot (due to dllimport/dllexport not being allowed on
templates).
This patch renames _LIBCPP_TYPE_VIS_ONLY to _LIBCPP_TEMPLATE_VIS.

This patch implements changes to allow _LIBCPP_ASSERT to throw on failure
instead of aborting. The main changes needed to do this are:
1. Change _LIBCPP_ASSERT to call a handler via a replacable function pointer
instead of calling abort directly. Additionally this patch implements two
handler functions, one which aborts and another that throws an exception.
2. Add _NOEXCEPT_DEBUG macro for disabling noexcept spec on function which
contain _LIBCPP_ASSERT. This is required in order to prevent assertion
failures throwing through a noexcept function. This macro has no effect
unless _LIBCPP_DEBUG_USE_EXCEPTIONS is defined.
Having a non-aborting _LIBCPP_ASSERT is very important to allow sane testing of
debug mode. Currently we can only have one test case per file, since the test
case will cause the program to abort. Testing debug mode this way would require
thousands of test files, most of which would be 95% boiler plate. I don't think
this is a feasible strategy. Fortunately using a throwing debug handler solves
these issues.
Additionally this patch rewrites the documentation for debug mode.

This is a generalization of `_LIBCPP_NEW_DELETE_VIS`; the new macro name
captures the semantics better, and also allows us to get rid of the
`_WIN32` check in `include/new`. No functional change.

This prevent the symbols from being both externally available and hidden, which
causes them to be linked incorrectly. This is only a problem when the address
of the function is explicitly taken since it will always be inlined otherwise.
This patch fixes the issues that caused r285456 to be reverted, and can
now be reapplied.

The behavior of this macro actually needs to apply universally on
Windows and not just when using the Microsoft CRT. Update the macro
definition and documentation accordingly.

Replace a stale reference to cxx_EXPORTS with _LIBCPP_BUILDING_LIBRARY,
and clarify why the operator new and delete family of functions are
marked dllexport when building but *not* dllimport when including the
header externally.
The new code is identical to the intent of the old code (and would be
functionally equivalent were cxx_EXPORTS still defined when building
libc++). The overall behavior is not ideal, since Microsoft's operator
new and delete functions will get called instead of libc++'s, but I
think consistently calling msvcrt's functions is better than either
calling msvcrt's or libc++'s functions depending on header inclusion.

On Windows, marking an `extern template class` declaration as exported
actually forces an instantiation, which is not the desired behavior.
Instead, the actual explicit instantiations need to be exported.

Summary:
This patch fixes a number of problems with the visibility macros across GCC (on Unix) and Windows (DLL import/export semantics). All of the visibility macros are now documented under `DesignDocs/VisibilityMacros.rst`. Now I'll no longer forget the subtleties of each!
This patch adds two new visibility macros:
* `_LIBCPP_ENUM_VIS` for controlling the typeinfo of enum types. Only Clang supports this.
* `_LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE_TYPE_VIS` for redefining visibility on explicit instantiation declarations. Clang and Windows require this.
After applying this patch GCC only emits one -Wattribute warning opposed to 30+.

Summary:
Hi all,
This patch is a successor to D11963. However it has changed dramatically and I felt it would be best to start a new review thread.
Please read the design documentation added in this patch for a description of how it works.
