Answer 1

Can you clarify your question a bit? C++ linkage is a pretty big topic and giving a complete answer in an SO post is probably a bit more information than you're looking for (Litb may prove me wrong).

Here is a link which provides a general overview of linkage: http://gaubuali.wordpress.com/linkage-in-c-and-c/
