Question: 1 / 565

What concept ensures that the linker catches errors when function declarations do not match their uses?

Scope resolution

Type-safe linkage

Type-safe linkage ensures that the linker catches errors when function declarations do not match their uses. Scope resolution, explicit linking, and name mangling are not concepts that specifically deal with catching errors in function declarations. While scope resolution deals with the accessibility of a variable within a program, explicit linking refers to explicitly referencing a function from a library. Name mangling is a technique used to change the name of a function in order to differentiate it from other functions in a program. None of these concepts directly address the issue of catching errors in function declarations. Therefore, type-safe linkage is the correct concept for ensuring the linker catches these errors.
