According to Ken Linder:

I have come across a problem (bug? feature?) trying to pass a string schema parameter to a procedure with a parameter defined as a __cstring__. Please note that I am still using ver 2.0 so if this is fixed in the newer version, let me know. Here is the problem:

It is fixed. Also the problem which occured with `foofoo' in a Unit.

Since there are more bugs with `CString' in gpc-2.0, I suggest you to upgrade to gpc-970714.

[...] The way I understand linking to a C rtn like: function cfoo(SomeNum : integer) : integer; C; requires that I link a C library that contains a function called `cfoo'.

Function CFoo ( SomeNum: Integer ): Integer; AsmName 'foo';

together with the Pascal version

Function Foo ( SomeNum: Integer ): Integer; (* yields 'Foo' *)

solves the problem.
