Hm. It seems that unlike the C FE the C++ FE emits new global fndecls for
each block-local extern it encounters. So, for
extern void foo (int);
static void
bar (void)
{
extern void foo (int);
foo (0);
}
int main()
{
extern void foo (int);
bar ();
}
we'll have three FUNCTION_DECLs for the global foo, two queued in
BLOCK_VARS but with global context (the C FE would have a DECL_CONTEXT
of the enclosing function declaration, bar and main here). So the C++
frontend will be still susceptible to PR48437, those local decls entering
the decl merging process.
Which means that if we fix this bug in another way this bug is fixed
as well! One idea is to simply never treat trees that we output
when following TREE_CHAIN as indexable.
