[Spice-devel] [PATCH spice-streaming-agent 3/3] Export symbols in the binary to use by the plugins

[Lukáš Hrázký]

This commits adds the -export-dynamic linker flag to export dynamic
symbols to be used by the streaming agent's plugins. It also adds the
-fvisibility=hidden compiler flag to hide all symbols by default (along
with -fvisibility-inline-hidden for C++ inline functions).

Then it adds the visibility("default") attribute to the namespace
containing the Error class, as that one needs to be exported and have
its typeinfo defined for exception catching to work.
