The following code: pragma(GNU_attribute, visibility("hidden")) void test() { } results in: .globl _D1x4testFZv .hidden _D1x4testFZv .type _D1x4testFZv, @function _D1x4testFZv: which is clearly bogus.

The visibility attribute applies to the final ELF executable/sharedlib. The ".globl" directive just means that the symbol is available to other object modules during static linking. The C compiler does the same thing.
