Unfortunately, trunk clang doesn't handle this correctly. The primary issue here is we haven't defined the correct way to mangle the name of "i", and clang's current scheme is unusable because it depends on the details of IRGen. (There's also the matter that we don't compute the linkage correctly, but that's a simple IRGen bug.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm attaching a patch which expands the scheme we use for mangling lambda expressions in this sort of context to also work for block literals. The patch is still a bit of a mess: there's a bunch of copy-paste code I still need to clean up, I haven't included tests, and it would probably be nice to include the parameter types of the block in the mangling. That said, it essentially implements everything necessary.</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>Unlike lambdas, we never actually need to mangle a block declaration; we just encounter it as a context for local statics and types. And much like we do with lambdas, we should just ignore the block as a context and mangle the static/type as a local declaration within the actual enclosing declaration.</div>

Attaching updated patch; this fixes some details like avoiding some of the code duplication, fixing the mangling so it makes a bit more sense, and includes some fixes to make our linkage computations for static local variables a bit more accurate.</div>
