Re: [Tinycc-devel] Dollar Sign in Identifiers Extension

[Daniel Holden]

Hi,

I've attached a patch that allows for dollars in identifiers when GNU 
extensions are enabled. Apologies if there are any issues with my patch, 
this is my first time using `diff` and `patch`. I've tested it on the 
tcc suite along with a library that makes fair use of dollars in 
identifiers and it seems to be working well.

I can change the functionality to use a tcc switch if that is preferred 
but I figured this is a pretty non-intrusive GNU extension which 
shouldn't break any existing code so it should be okay included with the 
rest of the GNU extensions.

I've very little experience with assembly. I know that $ has special 
meaning in x86 ASM and that some platforms don't support it as a symbol 
name. Could anyone with more knowledge tell me in what cases this patch 
might interferer with `tccasm` so I can test it.

Many Thanks,

Dan
