Some temporary symbols are created by MC itself. These symbols are never used
for lookup and are never included in the object symbol table, so we can
avoid creating a name for them.
Other temporaries are created by CodeGen or by the user by explicitly asking
for a name starting with .L (or L on MachO).
These temporaries behave like regular symbols, we just try to avoid including
them in the object symbol table, but sometimes they end up there:
const char *foo() {
return "abc" + 3;
}
will have a relocation pointing to a .L symbol.
It just so happens that almost all MC created temporary has the AlwaysAddSuffix
option and CodeGen/user created ones don't.
One interesting future optimization would be to use unnamed symbols for
all temporaries, but that would require use an st_name of 0 or
having the object writer create the names if a symbol does end up in the
symbol table.
No testcase since this just avoid creating a few extra names for MC created
temporaries.
