Does g++ ever actually generate a symbol name like this? Is it worth
worrying about?
g++ doesn't currently generate those, but I would like to change that
(c++/2316). And nothing prevents another compiler from actually
implementing the itanium C++ ABI (this code is mostly for binutils if I
understand correctly).
I thought it made sense to submit independent pieces first, but if it is
preferable to wait until everything is ready (not soon) I understand.
Personally if we are going to print this at all I think the extern "C"
should be in square brackets. E.g.,
void a<void (int) [extern "C"]>(void (*)(int) [extern "C"])
Hey, that looks nice!
It doesn't look like attributes (in double square brackets) get mangled,
so it shouldn't look strange (and it could always be changed in that
case).
