        <pre>clang will accept

void *g() {
  struct S {
  };
  extern S bax();
  return reinterpret_cast<void*>(bax);
}

Reading the standard suggests we might be pedantically correct since
[basic.link]
says

The name of a function declared in block scope .... no matching entity is
found, the block scope entity receives external linkage.

The type is not even considered. There is no way the above program could work,
so IMHO this should be a DR, but at the very least we should produce a warning.

gcc -std=c++11 says

error: ā€˜g()::S bax()ā€™, declared using local type ā€˜g()::Sā€™, is used but never
defined</pre>
