Hi Sandeep,

What about specifying the the _overlay attribute via a pragma directive? 
This way the code can remain "standard" C.  This is what pragmas were 
meant for.  You could then also name the overlay in the pragma:

#pragma OVERLAY funct myOverlay
int funct() {}

This may still need code changes in glue.c, but at least you don't have to 
change the C syntax.
