The one problem with using asm () for C++ name mangling is
it isn't easy to figure out what the assembly symbol one is.
If you change the function prototype, you have to figure
out the assembly name again.

with

class Foo
{
private:
  virtual void foo1 ()
    {
      printf ("I am %s\n", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__);
    }
public:
  virtual void  __attribute__ ((ifunc)) foo ()
    {
      return &Foo::foo1;
    }
};

there is no such problem.
