Yes both files are valid C++ but when you link them together they become invalid C++ and yes the C++ defines this as invalid with no diagnostic required. In fact your example is also invalid C++ but since the standard says we don't have to provide diagnostic as it is a hard problem to actually provide the diagnostic. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18842
