As specified in [dcl.link]p2:

  Linkage (3.5) between C++ and non-C++ code fragments can be achieved
  using a linkage-specification:

    linkage-specification:
      extern string-literal { declaration-seq_opt }
      extern string-literal declaration

`string-literal` is defined in [lex.string]:

  string-literal:
    encoding-prefix_opt "s-char-sequence_opt"
    encoding-prefix_optR raw-string

concatenation of string-literals is defined under [lex.string]p13:

  In translation phase 6 (2.2), adjacent string literals are concatenated.

---------------------------------------------------

gcc, icc, and msvc all (correctly) accept the provided snippet.</pre>
