Identifiers beginning with an underscore are reserved for the
"implementation", i.e. the compiler and/or standard libraries (libc
and libm). Specifically:
-- All identifiers that begin with an underscore and
either an uppercase letter or another underscore are
always reserved for any use.
-- All identifiers that begin with an underscore are
always reserved for use as identifiers with file scope
in both the ordinary and tag name spaces.
Most of them will be documented in the Info files for gcc and glibc.
