Bug 171240 – [Win] Use Clang's __has_declspec_attribute for export macros

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Don Olmstead]

Currently a OS(WINDOWS) check is used to determine whether __declspec should be used for exporting symbols in shared libraries. Clang defines a macro __has_declspec_attribute that can be used to determine if the platform supports __declspec.

These can be on one line.
Also, if it has __declspec(dllimport) can't we assume it has __declspec(dllexport)?

__declspec is a keyword according to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dabb5z75.aspx
I wish clang had used __has_declspec_keyword, but they didn't.

Is there no visibility attribute on ARM?

I would assume that would be the case but just made it completely explicit. Can change that.

That line has actually been there since the first commit of ExportMacros.h so its over 6 years old. I'm not sure the initial thinking of it. Should we just remove it?
