Hi, can_refer_decl_in_current_unit_p is a black magic that carefuly papers around a mine field created by combination of C++ ABI and ELF visibility attributes. As such it is not pretty and grown up into quite a maze of rules.
Well, I think it is time to clean it up: for example it does twice very similar check - for statics and for comdats it checks that definition is still around, but the code used is very different (one written before symtab, other more modern). It is also wrong in some cases that apparently don't happen in pracitce; for example it check presence of symtab node for static symbol but it does not check that the definition is actually around to be output. This patch cleans it up and should make it more robust and also less conservative for WHOPR and COMDATs put into other partition. It also fixes tree-optimization/60899 (and updates devirt-11.C testcase that tests the wrong devirtualization happens), I will send release branch fix shortly.
