What if you want to call a private member function from an inline member
function?
i.e. I think the suggestion fails for this case:
class __attribute__ ((visibility("default"))) Thing final {
public:
void publicFunc() { privateFunc(); }
private:
void __attribute__ ((visibility("hidden"))) privateFunc();
};
