GCC allows the @samp{$} character in identifiers as an extension for
most targets. This is true regardless of the @option{std=} switch,
since this extension cannot conflict with standards-conforming
-programs. Currently the targets that by default do not permit
-@samp{$} are AVR, IP2K, MMIX, MIPS Irix 3, ARM aout, and PowerPC
-targets for the AIX and BeOS operating systems.

You can override the default with @option{-fdollars-in-identifiers} or
@option{fno-dollars-in-identifiers}. @xref{fdollars-in-identifiers}.
