Hello , could you please review this small adjustment to the symbol visibility compilation settings on AIX ? Currently we use XLC 12.1 to compile JDK on AIX .
However XLC 12.1 does not support the "-qvisibility=hidden" setting currently set on AIX. It was introduced with XLC 13.1 . Christoph found some info about it here :
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix-symbol-visibility-part2/index.html
Setting it only generates hundreds of warnings in the build log , warnings look like this : XlC12.1
bash-4.4$ xlC -qversion IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V12.1 (5765-J02, 5725-C72) Version: 12.01.0000.0019
bash-4.4$ xlC -qvisibility=hidden sizeof.c -o sizeof_aixxlc 1506-173 (W) Option visibility=hidden is not valid. Enter xlC for list of valid options.
Compare to XLC13.1
bash-3.00$ xlC -qversion IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V13.1 (5725-C72, 5765-J07) Version: 13.01.0000.0008 bash-3.00$ xlC -qvisibility=default sizeof.c -o sizeof_aixxlc bash-3.00$ xlC -qvisibility=hidden sizeof.c -o sizeof_aixxlc
So it is better to avoid setting these flags when using xlc12.1 . Please review :
