Extended Library Functions demangle(3EXT)
NAME
demangle, cplus_demangle - decode a C++ encoded symbol name
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file[ library ... ] -ldemangle
#include
int cplus_demangle(const char *symbol, char *prototype, size_t size);
DESCRIPTION
The cplus_demangle() function decodes (demangles) a C++
linker symbol name (mangled name) into a (partial) C++ pro-
totype, if possible. C++ mangled names may not have enough information to form a complete prototype. The symbol string argument points to the input mangled name.The prototype argument points to a user-specified output
string buffer, of size bytes.The cplus_demangle() function operates on mangled names
generated by SPARCompilers C++ 3.0.1, 4.0.1, 4.1 and 4.2.The cplus_demangle() function improves and replaces the
demangle() function.
Refer to the CC.1, dem.1, and c++filt.1 manual pages in the/opt/SUNWspro/man/man1 directory. These pages are only available with the SPROcc package.
RETURN VALUES
The cplus_demangle() function returns the following values:
0 The symbol argument is a valid mangled name and prototype contains a (partial) prototype for the symbol.DEMANGLE_ENAME The symbol argument is not a valid man-
gled name and the content of prototype is a copy of the symbol.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 11 Mar 1997 1

DEMANGLE_ESPACE The prototype output buffer is too small
to contain the prototype (or the symbol),and the content of prototype is unde-
fined.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 11 Mar 1997 2
