inline  void __stdcall bar() {
}
void zed() {
  bar();
}


msvc produces:
SECTION HEADER #4
   .text name
         COMDAT; sym= "void __stdcall bar(void)" (?bar@@YGXXZ)

clang produces:

SECTION HEADER #2
      /4 name (.text$?bar@@YGXXZ)
...
      COMDAT; sym= "void __stdcall bar(void)" (?bar@@YGXXZ)


so the comdat uses the same symbol, but the section name is different.

It is similar for data. Given

template<class T>
struct foo {
  static int bar;
};
template<class T>
int foo<T>::bar;
int *f() {
  return &foo<int>::bar;
}

msvc produces

SECTION HEADER #4
    .bss name
...
         COMDAT; sym= "public: static int foo<int>::bar" (?bar@?$foo@H@@2HA)

clang produces

SECTION HEADER #2
      /4 name (.bss$?bar@?$foo@H@@2HA)
...
COMDAT; sym= "public: static int foo<int>::bar" (?bar@?$foo@H@@2HA)</pre>
