Erhm... Maybe I'm missing something about your suggestion, but without arguments, how would we tell the compiler the symbol name of the additional alias we want for the definition? Maybe, instead of no arguments, we could use something like: attribute (alias (..., "alt_sym_name")) but I don't find that clearer, and I have a hunch that the implementation would be significantly more convoluted. -- Alexandre Oliva, happy hacker https://FSFLA.org/blogs/lxo/ Free Software Activist GNU Toolchain Engineer Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
