<dt><code>#pragma GCC visibility push(</code><var>visibility</var><code>)</code><dt><code>#pragma GCC visibility pop</code><dd><a name="index-pragma_002c-visibility-4180"></a>
This pragma allows the user to set the visibility for multiple
declarations without having to give each a visibility attribute
(see <a href="Function-Attributes.html#Function-Attributes">Function Attributes</a>).

     <p>In C++, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">#pragma GCC visibility</span></samp>&rsquo; affects only namespace-scope
declarations.  Class members and template specializations are not
affected; if you want to override the visibility for a particular
member or instantiation, you must use an attribute.
