I think it's handling this corner case:

struct Incomplete;
struct A { int a; virtual A *bar(); };
struct B { int b; virtual B *foo(Incomplete); };
struct C : A, B { int c; virtual C *foo(Incomplete); };
C c;

MSVC gives this error:

t.cpp(5) : error C2664: 'C *C::foo(Incomplete)' : cannot convert argument 1 from 'Incomplete' to 'Incomplete'
      Source or target has incomplete type
      This diagnostic occurred in the compiler generated function 'B *C::foo(Incomplete)'

Clang on the other hand relies on the TU defining the virtual function to emit code for the thunk. Therefore I think the correct linkage is weak_odr. This should also be applicable to the Itanium C++ ABI.

Switch to weak_odr.

It occurs to me that the linkage is still wrong for classes with thunks in anonymous namespaces. It'd also be nice to have the thunks be discardable (i.e. linkonce_odr) in the common cases.

I think this is the right linkage computation:

  • class has GVA_Internal linkage -> thunk is internal
  • the thunk has a return adjustment -> thunk is weak_odr, to handle the evil corner case
  • all other normal methods -> thunk is linkonce_odr

Calculate the thunk linkage as suggested by Reid.
