NAME

demangle − decode a C++ encoded symbol name

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag ... ] file ... -ldem [ library ... ]
 
CC [ flag ... ] file ... -ldem [ library ... ]
 
#include <demangle.h>
 
demangle(char ∗in, char ∗out);

DESCRIPTION

demangle() decodes the string in and copies the result to out.  in points to a string representing a name mangled by the C++ compiler.  out is a user-specified buffer.  demangle() does not check for overflow of the array pointed to by out.  It is the user’s responsibility to provide a large enough out.  demangle() operates on mangled names generated by both C++ 3.0.1 and C++ 4.0.1.  0 is returned if in represents a valid mangled name; otherwise -1 is returned.  If in is not a valid mangled name, it is copied unchanged to out. 

NOTES

The demangle() interface is likely to change in future releases of the compiler.
