An external declaration following an inline definition is not redundant because it forces the compiler to emit an external definition for the function. That is,
inline void f(void) { } [extern] void f(void); should not trigger the redundant redeclaration of ... warning. gcc/c/ChangeLog: * c-decl.cc (diagnose_mismatched_decls): Add new case for Wredundant-decls suppression. --- gcc/c/c-decl.cc | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/gcc/c/c-decl.cc b/gcc/c/c-decl.cc index 7a145bed281..e86f7950858 100644 --- a/gcc/c/c-decl.cc +++ b/gcc/c/c-decl.cc @@ -2592,7 +2592,12 @@ diagnose_mismatched_decls (tree newdecl, tree olddecl, && TREE_ASM_WRITTEN (olddecl) && !TREE_ASM_WRITTEN (newdecl)) /* Don't warn about a variable definition following a declaration. */ && !(VAR_P (newdecl) - && DECL_INITIAL (newdecl) && !DECL_INITIAL (olddecl))) + && DECL_INITIAL (newdecl) && !DECL_INITIAL (olddecl)) + /* Don't warn about external declaration following inline definition. */ + && !(TREE_CODE (newdecl) == FUNCTION_DECL + && !DECL_INITIAL (newdecl) && !DECL_DECLARED_INLINE_P (newdecl) + && DECL_EXTERNAL (newdecl) && DECL_INITIAL (olddecl) + && DECL_DECLARED_INLINE_P (olddecl) && DECL_EXTERNAL (olddecl))) { warned = warning (OPT_Wredundant_decls, "redundant redeclaration of %q+D", newdecl); -- 2.42.0
