[llvm-dev] Is extern_weak a legal linkage for function definitions?

[Tom Stellard via llvm-dev]

Hi,

The LLVM language reference doesn't say that extern_weak is illegal for
function definitions, but it seems this restriction is enforced in the
code in some places:

https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/master/lib/AsmParser/LLParser.cpp#L4591
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/master/lib/CodeGen/AsmPrinter/AsmPrinter.cpp#L327


However it is possible to create a bitcode file where a function
definition has extern_weak linkage.  Are these restrictions in
the code wrong, or do we just need to update the language reference?
