[C++][Modules] Definition with same mangled name for template arguments of types defined in unnamed namespace in different files

[davidstone]

Given the following translation units:

export module a;

struct a_inner {
	~a_inner() {
	}
	void f(auto) {
	}
};

export template<typename T>
struct a {
	a() {
		struct local {};
		inner.f(local());
	}
private:
	a_inner inner;
};


namespace {

struct s {
};

} // namespace

void f() {
	a<s> x;
}

import a;

namespace {

struct s {
};

} // namespace

void g() {
	a<s> x;
}

clang fails with

Oh, name mangling problem. It looks like a hole in the current mangling system. (But I am not familiar with mangling too much) Let me try to send to this to Itanium CXX ABI Group. They are not so active now. And I really to don't want to touch name mangling without the guidance of Itanium CXX ABI .

[ChuanqiXu9]

After I review it again, I found this is not ABI related. It is forbidden by https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.link#15.4 if the instantiation point is not in a non-inline function body. (So the full explanation in https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.link#14).

To fix this, we have to not write instantiations in non-inline function body.
