Hi folks,


is it somehow possible to let the C-compiler include some type
information into symbol names (as IMHO done for C++) ?

I don't think so.

hmm. where should I start if I wanted to add that ?

If not, what would have to be done for that ?

Use a C++ compiler. 

hmm, maybe that's worth a try, but I doubt that all plain-C code
will compile fine then.


It will be very close.  One really good use of C++ is as C with
type-safe linkage.

Andrew.
