Every mangling under the Itanium C++ ABI starts with _Z.
Of course it's still possible to declare a C function called, say,
int _ZN3foo3barEi(int x);
which would then have the same mangling as the C++ function
namespace foo { int bar(int x); }
That these collide is okay under the standard because names starting with
underscores are reserved for future use, so programs using them do so at
their own risk.
