What's your vast experience then? I wrote my first compiler (of sorts) on a DECSystem-10. In assembly code. And the assembler supported "$" in names (whether or not I made use of that feature, I can't remember). And the first interpreter (of sorts) I played with was on a PDP11. No Windows or x86 in sight. > Are you suggesting gcc, clang, icc, Um, gcc, clang and icc appear to support "$" in identifiers. In fact most C compilers seem to do so. So I'm not sure what we're arguing about. The problem for me is that one or two that I use don't support it. And they both use their own assemblers and linkers so compatibility with other tools isn't the reason. -- bartc
