I have run across something that I find curious. The following code:
main()
{
int broken();
(void) broken();
return(0);
}
static int
broken()
{
return(0);
}
Causes gcc -c -pedantic to report:
gccbug.c: In function broken:
gccbug.c:11: warning: `broken' was declared `extern' and later `static'
However, if I try to declare the forward reference of the function
'static int broken()', I get an 'invalid storage class specifier'
warning. Am I doing something wrong, or does gcc 1.32 have a problem
here. And if it is me, then how can I forward reference a function
that has translation unit scope?
