[Feature Request] no-mangle decorator

[david-ragazzi]

Review Mojo's priorities

• I have read the roadmap and priorities and I believe this request falls within the priorities.

What is your request?

A decorator to disable the obfuscation of a function name (@no-mangle, or another name), so that a boot binary written in assembly calls the main kernel function (k_main, for example) by the original name that was written.

What is your motivation for this change?

Create a tiny operating system in Mojo as described here.

Any other details?

@export does what you want

[david-ragazzi]

No matters the name. The important is the function name doesn't change in order to linked objets call it by its unchanged original name. Do you understand?

[Mogball]

I do understand. @export does exactly what you want here!
