<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While the code is all correct, the problem is that this modified name cannot be demangled.

<p class="MsoNormal">That is what I am trying to fix. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I could change these 60 tests to match the new behavior. That will fix these 60 failures.

<p class="MsoNormal">However, I do have a concern that there may be other places in llvm that expect the

<p class="MsoNormal">names to be pure identifiers. Adding a ‘.’ may cause them to fail. No such failure has been

<p class="MsoNormal">seen in running the whole clang test, but the concern is still there.

<p class="MsoNormal">example from a test).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alternatively, I could try to limit my change to just mangled names.

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestion about how this should be fixed ?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is another similar change about 40 lines below in ValueSymbolTable::createValueName().

<p class="MsoNormal">That is not needed to fix this particular problem, but looks similar, so perhaps should be treated

<p class="MsoNormal">similarly for consistency. It causes 66 more failures of the same nature though.<u></u><u></u></p>
