    #include <string.h>

    __asm int myasm(char *r0)
    {
      B __cpp(strlen);
    }

    int main(void)
    {
      return myasm("abcd");
    }

    Compiles and links quite happily.


    For C code, generally, __cpp isn't needed (but you'll need to do an IMPORT for the name) because the symbol name is same as the name in the source code.  This isn't the case for C++ code - in that case __cpp will mangle the name to the correct symbol name so that it links correctly.

    I think (well, above example proves it) __cpp also adds in the necessary IMPORT directives too, so generally it's good practice to use __cpp(x) when comunicating between the C/C++ and embedded asm code.
