■ Notes on C Language Symbols

The 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 the debug of program described by C language easier.
Consequently, a symbol name described in C language 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.
