Define "real name". In 3.4.x, as discovered by Richard, the C and C++ compilers
disagree on DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME for register variables. In 4.x, the C compiler
has been changed to use the C++ idiom that seems more sensible to me: DECL_NAME
is the name of the declared variable ("tp") while DECL_ASSEMBLER_NAME is the
name of the variable as written in the assembly file ("%g7").
