NAME

demangle − decode a C++ encoded symbol name

SYNOPSIS

char ∗demangle (const char ∗symbol)

DESCRIPTION

demangle decodes an encoded C++ symbol name into a format which more closely resembles the original C++ declaration. 

WARNING

This routine allocates space for the return buffer using the malloc(3C) allocation routine.

DIAGNOSTICS

The argument, symbol , will be returned if it points to a string which does not need decoding.  A return value of NULL indicates that storage could not be allocated for the return buffer.
