Is that true for all languages? I don't think we can make that assumption. Also, there may be clashes with other compiler generated symbols. I know of at least one Fortran compiler that composes names for module symbols as "modulename.symbolname", and if symbolname is "cold" then you can have a clash. Ciao! Steven
