    ```cpp
struct A
{
    ~A() {}
};

struct B
{
    int b = 0;
    B(A) {}

```
Building this on Windows produces following error:
```none
lld-link: error: undefined symbol: struct C var
>>> referenced by C:\msys2\tmp\1-93d998.o:(main)
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
```
The compiler invocation is `clang++ 1.cpp -fuse-ld=lld` (similar error without LLD, using it to show a non-localized message).

Clang version is:
```none
$ clang++ --version
clang version 16.0.0
Target: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
Thread model: posix
```
This doesn't happen on Linux or in MinGW-compatibility mode.

Making the variable `static` doesn't change the result. Making it `inline` ICEs the compiler:
```none
fatal error: error in backend: Associative COMDAT symbol '?var@@3UC@@A' is not a key for its COMDAT.
PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ and include the crash backtrace, preprocessed source, and associated run script.
