            Bug ID: 80785
           Summary: warning for static definitions inside extern "C"
           Product: gcc
           Version: 7.1.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: daniel.gutson at intel dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

The following code is contradictory, with some probability that the programmer
made is wrongly assuming something:

extern "C"
{
    static int x = 1;
}

I don't see why one would want to do this.

Of course this could be filed as feature request or enhancement.
