external defined symbols.
Indirect symbols remain unsupported.
Xcode 5.1 ld64-236.3/src/ld/LinkEditClassic.hpp
ld::tool::SymbolTableAtom<>::addGlobal() is responsible for producing
symbols found in the extdef portion of the symbol table. It always sets
the type to N_ABS, N_SECT, or N_INDR, each with the N_EXT bit set. The
N_PEXT bit is never set for non-object files, and we’re not concerned
with reading object files. With this change to tolerate N_INDR, I think
we’re covering all of the symbol types that we might find ld writing to
the extdef portion of the symbol table.

implicit_cast<> only performs a cast in cases where an implicit
conversion would be possible. It’s even safer than static_cast<> It’s an
“explicit implicit” cast, which is not normally necsesary, but is
frequently required when working with the ?: operator, functions like
std::min() and std::max(), and logging and testing macros.
The public style guide does not mention implicit_cast<> only because it
is not part of the standard library, but would otherwise require it in
these situations. Since base does provide implicit_cast<>, it should be
used whenever possible.
The only uses of static_cast<> not converted to implicit_cast<> are
those that require static_cast<>, such as those that assign an integer
constant to a variable of an enum type.
