------- Comment #2 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-07-22 23:35 ------- I don't see a problem with this really since it is a local symbol and will never be exported so the ABI never gets involved.
a demangled name is only a nice way of displaying the name to the user rather than anything else. The profiles and other tools could figure out if it has .clone.n to strip that and then add it back. User generated symbols will never have .clone.n in it unless asm is used. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40831
