this isn't needed.
All you need to do is just get location and:

return SM.isInMainFile(L) ||  !utils::isSpellingLocInHeaderFile(L, SM, HeaderFileExtensions);

Or better add: isSpellingLocInSourceFile

Still I would just assume that if first declaration isn't in header file, then such declaration could be considered to be internal. As include for header should be there anyway.

I prefer to tolerant some false negatives instead of introducing false positives for corner cases. It is more robust to check whether all redecls are in main file. And it will not cause performance issue since most of thing only have one declaration and one definition.

The reason of using recursive algorithm is there are some code practices will use macro and inc file to avoid duplicated code. In llvm-project, it is also used widely.

.. title:: clang-tidy - misc-use-internal-linkage

misc-use-internal-linkage
=========================

Detects variables and functions that can be marked as static or moved into
an anonymous namespace to enforce internal linkage.

Static functions and variables are scoped to a single file. Marking functions
and variables as static helps to better remove dead code. In addition, it gives
the compiler more information and allows for more aggressive optimizations.

Example:

.. code-block:: c++

int v1; // can be marked as static

void fn1(); // can be marked as static

namespace {
// already in anonymous namespace
int v2;
void fn2();
}
// already declared as extern
extern int v2;
