On VMS, using g++ 1.36.3-, the following code does not compile:

    #define	stdin	$$PsectAttributes_NOSHR$$stdin
    #define	stdout	$$PsectAttributes_NOSHR$$stdout
    #define	stderr	$$PsectAttributes_NOSHR$$stderr

    extern int *stdin;
    extern int *stdout;
    extern int *stderr;

    extern void frob(int *, int *);

    void
    sub()
    {
	frob(stdin, stdout);
    }

The compiler complains on lines 5,6,7:

	type name expected before `*'

If the leading "$$" characters are replaced by "_$" in lines 1, 2, and 3 ,
the file compiles cleanly.  Dollars are legal identifier characters on VMS.
