I'm running gcc 2.3.2 on sparcs...

What does the @ symbol mean to a C compiler? (I don't recall)

This program got an assembler error:
main()
{
        foo@();
}

This produced:

gcc2_compiled.:
text
        .align 4
        .global _main
        .proc   04
_main:
        !#PROLOGUE# 0
        save %sp,-136,%sp
        !#PROLOGUE# 1
        call ___main,0
        nop
        call _foo@,0
        nop
L1:
        ret
        restore

Here's a copy of the run:

gcc version 2.3.2
 /usr/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/sparc/2.3.2/cpp -lang-c -v -undef -D__GNUC__=2 -Dsparc -Dsun -Dunix -D__sparc__ -D__sun__ -D__unix__ -D__sparc -D__sun -D__unix identifier.c /usr/tmp/cca02981.i

   _foo 
collect: /usr/bin/ld returned 2 exit status

In a large project, the make stopped after the assembler error...in this example, after the assembler error,
the link was attempted...
