Yes, that is true. But there is no way to turn off or turn into an
error the warning that is output in _this_particular_case_, because
there's no flag in GCC's code to do so.
gcc/toplev.c, function check_global_declaration_1, around line 470:
&& (warn_unused_function
|| TREE_SYMBOL_REFERENCED (DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME (decl))))
{
if (TREE_SYMBOL_REFERENCED (DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME (decl)))
pedwarn (input_location, 0, "%q+F used but never defined", decl);
This particular warning can be turned into an error by specifying
-pedantic-errors
