There is currently no way to set the visibility of the typeinfo, except by
setting the visibility of the VTT and vtable.
This is unfortunate if you want to be able to using RTTI features on a class
from another module, but don't want to export VTTs and vtables.
It is unclear what the best attribute name to tell gcc that you want this is,
but something like:
class Foo
: public virtual Bar
{
public:
virtual void doSomething();
} __attribute__((visibility("hidden")))
__attribute__((typeinfo_visibility("default")));
seems reasonable.
