/*
We are compiling code on a DG/ux AViiON system under 5.4 Release 3.10
using gcc version 2.6.3.19 (DG).  The problem we are running into is
that several identifer names (variables) contain the dollar-sign ($) 
character.  The compiler will allow dollar-signs with the "-traditional"
flag set.  However,  because the applications are being built for a
multi-processor architecture,  we require the use of the "volatile"
keyword (in combination with static).

The ANSI standard supports volatile (from what I know), while non-
ASNI compliant doesn't seem to.  Is there a flag or option that will
allow compilation using volatile as well as dollar signs in identifiers?

Here's some sample code that will fail with gcc and cc (which on dgux
eventually calls the gcc compiler with a different set of options):
*/

/* Begin source */
#include <stdio.h>

static volatile int foo$ = 100; /* Note these don't have to be in */
								/* combination,  the $ and volotile */
								/* are being mixed here to save code */
								/* for this example.				*/

void main()
{
	printf("\nI want to live to be %d\n", foo$);
}

/* end source */

/*
This email should compile.

DG/UX Support has not come up with a solution to this point.  Will a newer
compiler support what we need to do?

Thanks in advance.
