Summary:
This commit introduces a new macro, _LIBCPP_HIDE_FROM_ABI, whose goal is to
mark functions that shouldn't be part of libc++'s ABI. It marks the functions
as being hidden for dylib visibility purposes, and as having internal linkage
using Clang's __attribute__((internal_linkage)) when available, and
__always_inline__ otherwise.
It replaces _LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY, which was always using __always_inline__
to achieve similar goals, but suffered from debuggability and code size problems.
The full proposal, along with more background information, can be found here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2018-July/058419.html
This commit does not rename uses of _LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY to
_LIBCPP_HIDE_FROM_ABI: this wide reaching but mechanical change can
be done later when we've confirmed we're happy with the new macro.
In the future, it would be nice if we could optionally allow dropping
any internal_linkage or __always_inline__ attribute, which could result
in code size improvements. However, this is currently impossible for
reasons explained here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2018-July/058450.html

libc++ Documentation ==================== The libc++ documentation is written using the Sphinx documentation generator. It is currently tested with Sphinx 1.1.3. To build the documents into html configure libc++ with the following cmake options: * -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=ON * -DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_DOCS=ON After configuring libc++ with these options the make rule `docs-libcxx-html` should be available.
