Subject: Re: c/10488: Implementation of extern inline is exactly backwards
Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2003 00:57:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030425005712.20679.qmail@sources.redhat.com> (raw)

Synopsis: Implementation of extern inline is exactly backwards

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: bangerth
State-Changed-When: Fri Apr 25 00:57:12 2003
State-Changed-Why:
    This weird "extern inline" thing in gcc predates standardization,
    as far as I know (this is also why glibc uses this stuff).
    Unfortunately, the standard didn't take over gcc 
    semantics, and since glibc uses this we can't just
    switch :-(
    
    I recall that there have been lots of discussions aboutthis on the mailing lists. You will probably find quite
    some material by searching them -- google gives me some
    4230 hits for the combination "extern inline" and gcc.
    
    This is a well-known deficiency in gcc, so I think I can
    close this report.
