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

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

Hello,

I presume you are compiling ITK with shared libraries?

Would you happen to have a minimal example of “MyOwnCode.cxx” that reproduces this warning?

Thanks,
Brad

This was likely caused by different translation units being compiled with different visibility settings.
