That is correct - no name mangling for C. But you may still get some extra
characters in the names. The normal is that you get a leading '_' for all
external C symbols but to my knowledge there exists environments where a
'$' first or last might be used. The leading '_' was added to place the C
symbols in their own "namespace" to avoid name collisions with operating
system symbols, i.e. open is a OS function while _open is the function
available in the C standard library and called by the C code.
