+
+<p>GCC allows declaration of C variables in a @class or @protocol, but not
+C functions. Clang does not allow variable or C function declarations. External
+declarations, however, is allowed. Variables may only be declared in an
+@implementation.

+<pre>
+@interface XX
+int x; // not allowed in clang
+int one=1; // not allowed in clang
+extern int OK;
+@end
