You must give asmname an argument -- the name you would like to have in the 
object code. So, if you would like to have '_MyMixedCaseName', you do:

    function MyMixedCaseName: integer; asmname 'MyMixedCaseName';

It also allows this:

    function MyOtherName: integer; asmname 'MyMixedCaseName';

Hope this helps,
