I agree that __gshared should imply static. That's probably a
bug in the compiler.
Using `extern` without `export` would only work with static
linking (on Windows). `export` without `extern` would be
exporting the variable for others, like `__declspec(dllexport)`
in C++. `export` and `extern` combined imports the variable,
like `__declspec(dllimport)`.
That's all very helpful, thanks for the explanations guys.
Btw. should I report this issue somewhere? Is far as I see this
isn't logged yet:
