External Linkage Rule:

1.names having file scope, that do not comply to any of previously stated internal linkage rules, have external linkage.

The storage class specifiers auto and register cannot appear in an external declaration. For each identifier in a translation unit declared with internal linkage, no more than one external definition can be given. An external definition is an external declaration that also defines an object or function; that is, it also allocates storage. If an identifier declared with external linkage is used in an expression (other than as part of the operand of sizeof), then exactly one external definition of that identifier must be somewhere in the entire program.

mikroC allows later declarations of external names, such as arrays, structures, and unions, to add information to earlier declarations. Here's an example:

int a[];

// No size

struct

mystruct;

// Tag only, no member declarators

.

 

 

.

 

 

.

 

 

int a[3] = {1, 2, 3};

// Supply size and initialize

struct

mystruct {

 

int

i, j;

 

};

 

// Add member declarators
