 function or variable, this feature allows you to define names for the
 linker that do not start with an underscore.
 
+It does not make sense to use this feature with a non-static local

 You cannot use @code{asm} in this way in a function @emph{definition}; but
 you can get the same effect by writing a declaration for the function
 before its definition and putting @code{asm} there, like this:
