Bug ID: 96529
Summary: GCC applies C language linkage to instantiations from
abbreviated function templates
Product: gcc
Version: 11.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: hstong at ca dot ibm.com
Target Milestone: ---
GCC appears to be treating the instantiated specialization of the abbreviated
function template `g` as if it is a function named `g` whose name has C
language linkage.
[dcl.link] does not appear to apply language linkage to the names of
specializations of function templates.
Note: Nor does [dcl.link] apply language linkage to the names of templates (as
opposed to the type that a specialization of the template would have).

### SOURCE (<stdin>):
extern "C" {
void g(auto) {}
void g(void) { g(42); }
}
### COMPILER INVOCATION:
g++ -std=c++20 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic-errors -xc++ - -c -o /dev/null
### ACTUAL OUTPUT:
/tmp/cc2TjgyX.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc2TjgyX.s:25: Error: symbol `g' is already defined
/tmp/cc2TjgyX.s: Error: .size expression for g does not evaluate to a constant
### EXPECTED OUTPUT:
(clean compile)
### COMPILER VERSION INFO (g++ -v):
Using built-in specs.
