extern modifier on function declarations


Hi gdb-patches,

Our coding style currently requires using the "extern" keyword on function declarations. How relevant is this today?

I am not good at reading standards, but it is my impression that in C++, functions are always extern unless they are declared static. I am sure some people here know that answer already.

If it's not useful anymore, I would suggest dropping it for future patches. It doesn't change much, just a bit less verbosity and line wrapping.

Simon
