In many common cases, the two constructors are identical. It should
not be
hard to simply emit both appropriate symbols before the function.
That does
not require any change to the ABI, but it eliminates the problem in
the common
case.
But that does not work for some assemblers/file formats (like Darwin) as
Darwin's as finds subsections via labels.
There has been some discussion on why this suggestion would not
work on the mailing list (but I cannot find it right now).
Thanks,
