[cfe-dev] Is there a way to get linkonce / selectany in C programs?

[Nikola Smiljanic]

Grepping the source code tells me that selectany is only implemented as
microsoft extension. Test files use it in combination with __declspec and
they enable this functionality with -fsm-compatibility. Note that I have no
idea what this attribute actually does, I just did a search for you :)
