My compiler tells me that:

(Interestingly, it places C into module scope, so the same declaration can
also create names in different scopes!)

A small correction: that declaration gives all three names the same
scope[1].  You are confusing scope with linkage.

[1] Well almost the same.  The scope of A includes the declarators for B
and C, and the scope of B includes the declarator for C.
