the same name when linkage occurs. This can be used to implement
some forms of inline functions, templates, or other code which must be
generated in each translation unit that uses it, but where the body may
be overridden with a more definitive definition later. Unreferenced
<tt>linkonce</tt> globals are allowed to be discarded. Note that
<tt>linkonce</tt> linkage does not actually allow the optimizer to
inline the body of this function into callers because it doesn't know if
this definition of the function is the definitive definition within the
program or whether it will be overridden by a stronger definition.
To enable inlining and other optimizations, use "<tt>linkonce_odr</tt>"
