■ Notes on C/C++ Symbols

The C/C++ compiler outputs symbol information with "_" prefixed to global symbols. For example, the
symbol main outputs symbol information _main. However, SOFTUNE Workbench permits access using
the symbol name described in the source to make program debugging described in C/C++ easier.
Consequently, a symbol name described in C/C++ and a symbol name described in assembler, which
should both be unique, may be identical.
In such a case, the symbol name in the Current Scope normally is preferred. To refer to a symbol name
outside the Current Scope, specify the symbol with the module name.
If there are duplicated symbols outside the Current Scope, the symbol name searched first becomes valid.
To refer to another one, specify the symbol with the module name.
