Ah, I see. Thanks.

You're right, apparently it has nothing to do with C.

I am using MinGW GCC and it also adds this decoration.

Someone did this with Borland C++ 5 and Delphi (don't know which
version), but Borland does not use this decoration and Delphi imports
the functions by using plain undecorated names. I'll see, maybe
there's a way to disable it in GCC.
