</div>They get strong linkage.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>OK, then it would seem wrong to treat them as being implicitly inline. It seems that CodeGen (or one of the GVALinkage-related properties it asks the ASTContext about) should detect dllimport explicit specializations, instead, more like your original patch did. But I don't see that this should be at all linked with the ABI -- it seems to be just a weird quirk of the dllimport attribute?</div>
