Here is the program that fails to link:

                                //1.cpp
#include <iostream>

class A
{
  public:
    friend void
    func()
    {
      std::cout << "Called" << std::endl;
    }
};

int
main()
{
  void
  func();

  func();   //linker error undefined reference to `func()'

  return 0;
}
