no
you probably encountered weak references in libstdc++
(but hard to tell based on the information you gave us)
extern weak reference will be 0 unless something else
pulls in the definition at link time.

that's an internal detail you should not be able to observe

if the macro definition is hidden then you get a normal
function call whenever pthread_equal is called.
c++ code must be explicitly made slower by hiding the
macro because it does not allow function like macros
(welcome to c++).
inline semantics is different in c, c++ and gcc so
you cannot make that visible outside of ifdef __cplusplus.
(but diverging code logic under ifdef is not ok
because it makes maintainance problems, the current
code seems to me the most acceptable solution).
