preventing unused symbol from be stripped

Question

There is a function I have written in C that I would like to use in the debugger to send commands to a javascript engine. Since this function is not used directly in code the linker strips this symbol. Is there a way to mark a particular function to not be stripped?

__attribute__((used))
