<p><code>.func</code> emits debugging information to denote function <var>name</var>, and
is ignored unless the file is assembled with debugging enabled.
Only &lsquo;<samp>--gstabs[+]</samp>&rsquo; is currently supported.
<var>label</var> is the entry point of the function and if omitted <var>name</var>
prepended with the &lsquo;<samp>leading char</samp>&rsquo; is used.
&lsquo;<samp>leading char</samp>&rsquo; is usually <code>_</code> or nothing, depending on the target.
All functions are currently defined to have <code>void</code> return type.
The function must be terminated with <code>.endfunc</code>.
