[cfe-dev] Underscores/mangling symbol names

[Astron B]

Hi.

I compiled some simple code using clang that prints to console using
printf. When I check the name of the symbols in the compiled object file I
find

_printf

I'm wondering why the name appears to be mangled when the printf function
in msvcr110.dll is simply "printf." How does the linker match up these
symbols correctly?

Thanks.
