Well Lukes reply forced me to test it.

Opened a project in rhide containing two source
files, main.c test.c.

/******main.c******/

int main(){
return 0;}


/*******test.c********/

int nofunc(); /* declaration of nonexistent function*/

int testfunc(){

return nofunc();/* this is unresolved*/
}

both files compile fine but on the link I
get a unresolved external 
in func testfunc: int nofunc not found.

So even though there is no calling thread from
main to testfunc, since nofunc is include in the
link in an .o file the linker insists on resolving it.

I think I stand Uncorrected.
