-
-This program patches the .strtab section of an ELF relocatable module
-by replacing certain escape sequences with the characters they represent.
-
-CodeWarrior's C++ name mangling scheme may produce linkage names that
-are not valid identifiers in the .s files provided to the
-assembler, so we cannot use the mangled names directly as labels in the .s file.
-Still, we would like to be able to link with compiled C++ modules and add accurate symbols to them
-before they have been decompiled. To deal with this issue, for each .s file
-we replace any illegal characters in the mangled name with valid escape sequences,
-assemble the .s file, then use this program to postprocess the .o object code, which restores
-the correct symbol name.
