In this noncompliant code example, i2 and i5 are defined as having both internal and external linkage. Future use of either identifier results in undefined behavior.

Code Block
bgColor#FFCCCC
langc
int i1 = 10;  /* definition, external linkage */
static int i2 = 20;  /* definition, internal linkage */
extern int i3 = 30;  /* definition, external linkage */
int i4;  /* tentative definition, external linkage */
static int i5;  /* tentative definition, internal linkage */

int i1;  /* valid tentative definition */
int i2;  /* not valid, linkage disagreement with previous */
int i3;  /* valid tentative definition */
int i4;  /* valid tentative definition */
int i5;  /* not valid, linkage disagreement with previous */

int main(void) {
  /* ... */
}

This compliant solution does not include conflicting definitions.
