Symbol Mangling
Current symbol naming behavior and interop escape hatches.
Zynx mangles symbols to encode module names, functions, methods, and generic specializations. Mangling keeps generated native symbols distinct after LLVM lowering and linking.
Interop modules can request stable external names with @unmangled.
@unmangled
export fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
return a + b;
}
@c_name is available for C-facing names in supported positions.
The compiler test suite includes mangling snapshots for ordinary and generic symbols. These are regression tests, not a public ABI promise.
Warning
Mangled names may change while Zynx is unstable. Use explicit interop attributes for externally consumed symbols.
