GCC hidden visibility closely mimics the Windows DLL import/export feature, which cleans up the symbol export table and leads to faster startup times as well as a more stable ABI. This PR has no immediate effect until GCC is instructed to hide symbols with -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden. I did not enable this yet because unlike MSVC, GCC does not export type info and vtables by default, so this PR depends on eProsima#88 to work. Signed-off-by: Timo Röhling <[email protected]>

According to the manual, this warning can be ignored, because std::exception is a type in the C++ Standard Library. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/error-messages/compiler-warnings/compiler-warning-level-2-c4275?view=msvc-160 Signed-off-by: Timo Röhling <[email protected]>
