1. I found that #7272 does not properly emit some information for android assembler. keep digging @Aatch do you have any idea to fix this ?

2. some symbol starts with @, which arm as cannot recognize it

   [error]

   .type   @reflect_3A__3A_MovePtrAdaptor_3C_repr_3A__3A_ReprVisitor_3E__vtable_10842,%object
   ...
   .size   @reflect_3A__3A_MovePtrAdaptor_3C_repr_3A__3A_ReprVisitor_3E__vtable_10842, 240
   

   [orig]

   .type   vtable_10844,%object
   ...
   .size   vtable_10844, 240

3. @yichoi Ok, I know what the issue is now. I changed the naming of the vtables, since they are internal, in order to make it easier to debug. So they now have the type attached. Apparently the @'s don't get changed the same way the '<' and '>'s do.

   I'll get on it.
