   Suppose I'm using C and linking to an object file that happens to contain a symbol with a dot in its name.
   Is there any way I could access that symbol's address in C (to call, or to read?) without using assembly.
   I can access the symbol from an assembler easily, it's just that C doesn't let me access it because of the dot.

     `void foo(void) __asm__(".foo");`
     
     works for me. Of course it's not standard but enough for GCC to understand.

     @lynne worked for variable too...
     
     `extern unsigned char g_var __asm__(".g_var");`

     @lynne I think this is what you're looking for, maybe
     it seems you want \u2E
     but I may be wrong, i don't use C much

     @lynne I don't think it's possible in standard C then :(
     
     except maaaybe this unicode thing from C11 that was suggested above

     @a1ba Unfortunately, not portable enough.
     Has to work on everything ffmpeg supports.

     @lynne for MSVC you probably could use .def files. Though I'm not sure if it works on static libraries, but it allows renaming symbols.
     
     What else ffmpeg supports other than typical three C compilers?
