Hi, i want understand why in glibc functions of the standard C library
declares with 'extern' memory specifier. Please, tell me about this,
because c89, c99, c11 drafts indicate external-linkage as default, but
glibc use decidedly declare 'extern' with function prototypes in headers
(like 'extern type_t foo()'). I use GNU/linux. Thank's.
