It's currently not really possible to compile native add-ons with -fvisibility=hidden because that also hides the struct containing the module definition. The NODE_MODULE() and NODE_MODULE_DECL() macros are structured in a way that makes it impossible to add a visibility attribute manually so there is no escape hatch there. That's why this commit adds an explicit visibility attribute to the module definition. It doesn't help with node.js releases that are already out there but at least it improves the situation going forward.
Evented I/O for V8 javascript. 
To build:
Prerequisites (Unix only):
* GCC 4.2 or newer
* Python 2.6 or 2.7
* GNU Make 3.81 or newer
* libexecinfo (FreeBSD and OpenBSD only)
Unix/Macintosh:
./configure
make
make install
If your python binary is in a non-standard location or has a non-standard name, run the following instead:
export PYTHON=/path/to/python
$PYTHON ./configure
make
make install
Windows:
vcbuild.bat
You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from http://nodejs.org/download/. The Windows and OS X installers will prompt you for the location to install to. The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory with:
tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
Or system-wide with:
cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
/path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
To run the tests:
Unix/Macintosh:
make test
Windows:
vcbuild.bat test
To build the documentation:
make doc
To read the documentation:
man doc/node.1
