Dimitri Schoolwerth 7cacde3b84 Re-enable symbols visibility support for the Clang compiler
Visibility support for Clang was disabled in 7198c33 because of linking
errors when building shared libraries, related to non-inline methods in
exported template classes.

The last Clang version to have these problems is version "4.1
(tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66)" as part of Xcode 4.5.2, and the next
release fixes them (version "4.2 (clang-425.0.24)", Xcode 4.6). Check
for the Clang version and only disable visibility support when compiling
with Apple Clang < 4.2.

Note that Apple Clang 4.2 is based on official Clang 3.2 so also check
for that version in case of non-Apple builds. The only official Clang
that has been tested successfully is 3.4 which worked fine with
visibility. Other versions that were tried (3.1 and 3.2) segfault while
compiling wx.

dnl From Bruno Haible.
dnl Modified for use in wxWidgets by Vaclav Slavik:
dnl - don't define HAVE_VISIBILITY (=0) if not supported
dnl - use -fvisibility-inlines-hidden too
dnl - test in C++ mode
dnl Tests whether the compiler supports the command-line option
dnl -fvisibility=hidden and the function and variable attributes
dnl __attribute__((__visibility__("hidden"))) and
dnl __attribute__((__visibility__("default"))).
dnl Does *not* test for __visibility__("protected") - which has tricky
dnl semantics (see the 'vismain' test in glibc) and does not exist e.g. on
dnl MacOS X.
dnl Does *not* test for __visibility__("internal") - which has processor
dnl dependent semantics.
dnl Does *not* test for #pragma GCC visibility push(hidden) - which is
dnl "really only recommended for legacy code".
dnl Set the variable CFLAG_VISIBILITY.
dnl Defines and sets the variable HAVE_VISIBILITY.
