Rationale (June, 2014):

This restriction is the same for static and simply requires that the braced form of linkage-specification be used.

Date: 2022-11-20.07:54:16

According to 9.11 [dcl.link] paragraph 7,

A declaration directly contained in a linkage-specification is treated as if it contains the extern specifier (9.2.2 [dcl.stc]) for the purpose of determining the linkage of the declared name and whether it is a definition. Such a declaration shall not specify a storage class.

This prohibits a declaration like

  extern "C++" thread_local int n;

Should this be changed?
