I am trying to refer to object files generated by clang from ObjC sources from C code, however the compiler is generating symbols not prepended by underscore so extern specification does not work. I'm using the latest Apple clang. I am guessing this must be possible, since kernels would need to do this. Anyone confirm it is possible or not, if so how to do it, if not, a workaround if known please. Thanks!

I seem to recall there is a function `__attribute__` to do this, but I can't find it now. – Nate Eldredge Aug 13 '20 at 07:35

Did you look up the compiler's option to not prepend the underscore? – the busybee Aug 13 '20 at 10:44

Sorry I found the answer immediately after posting the question:
extern void *name asm("name");
appears to work with both clang and gcc. Not sure about Windows.
