Implement C++ [basic.link]p8.
If a function or variable has a type with no linkage (and is not extern "C"), any use of it requires a definition within the same translation unit; the idea is that it is not possible to define the entity elsewhere, so any such use is necessarily an error. There is an exception, though: some types formally have no linkage but nonetheless can be referenced from other translation units (for example, this happens to anonymous structures defined within inline functions). For entities with those types, we suppress the diagnostic except under -pedantic. llvm-svn: 313729
