If the specialized function has a re-abstracted (= converted from indirect to direct) resilient argument or return types, use an alternative mangling: "TB" instead of "Tg".
Resilient parameters/returns can be converted from indirect to direct if the specialization is created within the type's resilience domain, i.e. in its module (where the type is loadable).
In this case we need to generate a different mangled name for the specialized function to distinguish it from specializations in other modules, which cannot re-abstract this resilient type.
This fixes a miscompile resulting from ODR-linking specializations from different modules, which in fact have different function signatures.

This attribute allows to define a pre-specialized entry point of a
generic function in a library.
The following definition provides a pre-specialized entry point for
`genericFunc(_:)` for the parameter type `Int` that clients of the
library can call.
```
@_specialize(exported: true, where T == Int)
public func genericFunc<T>(_ t: T) { ... }
```
Pre-specializations of internal `@inlinable` functions are allowed.
```
@usableFromInline
internal struct GenericThing<T> {
@_specialize(exported: true, where T == Int)
@inlinable
internal func genericMethod(_ t: T) {
}
}
```
There is syntax to pre-specialize a method from a different module.
```
import ModuleDefiningGenericFunc
@_specialize(exported: true, target: genericFunc(_:), where T == Double)
func prespecialize_genericFunc(_ t: T) { fatalError("dont call") }
```
Specially marked extensions allow for pre-specialization of internal
methods accross module boundries (respecting `@inlinable` and
`@usableFromInline`).
```
import ModuleDefiningGenericThing
public struct Something {}
@_specializeExtension
extension GenericThing {
@_specialize(exported: true, target: genericMethod(_:), where T == Something)
func prespecialize_genericMethod(_ t: T) { fatalError("dont call") }
}
```
