llvm dev - Aug 2011 - [LLVMdev] dragonegg and alias attribute

Hello,

Another question about the more esoteric parts of C. Is there any way to get
dragonegg to handle c function aliases or is there a way to get around this?
For example, I've got a simple file:

int foo(int x) { return x; }

extern typeof(foo) foo2 __attribute((alias("foo")));

Compiling with vanilla gcc I end up with two symbols: foo and foo2 which
both refer to the same function. When I compile through dragonegg I only get
a symbol for foo.

Thanks.

it seems it is being handled a bit too well by dragonegg :)  Please open a bug
report.

Best wishes, Duncan.
