Hi,
This code compiles fine with gcc:
void a$() {}
int main() { a$(); }
This generates invalid assembly code:
void $() {}
int main() { $(); }
To gas, an initial $ is not allowed in an identifier, but to gcc, it is, so gcc
can't simply copy the function name to the assembly output, unless $ also
becomes an invalid identifier in C.
The code can, of course, compile successfully with -fleading-underscore.
