            Bug ID: 17829
           Summary: Functions declared extern "C" with a name matching a
                    mangled C++ function are allowed
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified

Error message from failed assert

If a C function is declared that has a name that matches a mangled name of a
C++ function, the first to be declared is used. Instead it should fail to build
as the symbol is already defined. In g++ this will fail to build.

The following will compile and print "Bug":

#include <cstdio>

extern "C"{
void _Z3foov()
{
    printf("Bug\n");
}
}

void foo()
{
    printf("Correct\n");
}

int main()
{
    foo();
}

When this code is compiled with a debug build of clang, the an assertion fails
with the attached message (files asked for at the end of the error message are
also included).
