[ITK] [ITK-dev] -fvisibility=hidden link warnings with GetMetaDataObjectTypeName()

[Lowekamp, Bradley (NIH/NLM/LHC) [C]]

Thanks for the update, and the work to narrow your problem down.

Just to let you know, another alternative to managing the flags is to use CMake preset property variables. When I build ITK for SimpleITK I apply (depending on the configuration) the following CMake options:

-DCMAKE_C_VISIBILITY_PRESET:BOOL=hidden
-DCMAKE_CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET:BOOL=hidden
-DCMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN:BOOL=ON

This seems to work well now. And CMake appears to append the option after on the programatic manipulation of the standard flag variables.

HTH,
Brad
