.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
The \*(C+ and Java languages provide function overloading, which means
|
|
that you can write many functions with the same name, providing that
|
|
each function takes parameters of different types. In order to be
|
|
able to distinguish these similarly named functions \*(C+ and Java
|
|
encode them into a low-level assembler name which uniquely identifies
|
|
each different version. This process is known as \fImangling\fR. The
|
|
\&\fBc++filt\fR
|
|
[1]
|
|
program does the inverse mapping: it decodes (\fIdemangles\fR) low-level
|
|
names into user-level names so that they can be read.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Every alphanumeric word (consisting of letters, digits, underscores,
|
|
dollars, or periods) seen in the input is a potential mangled name.
|
|
If the name decodes into a \*(C+ name, the \*(C+ name replaces the
|
|
low-level name in the output, otherwise the original word is output.
|
|
In this way you can pass an entire assembler source file, containing
|
|
mangled names, through \fBc++filt\fR and see the same source file
|
|
containing demangled names.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can also use \fBc++filt\fR to decipher individual symbols by
|
|
passing them on the command line:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 1
|
|
\& c++filt <symbol>
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
If no \fIsymbol\fR arguments are given, \fBc++filt\fR reads symbol
|
|
names from the standard input instead. All the results are printed on
|
|
the standard output. The difference between reading names from the
|
|
command line versus reading names from the standard input is that
|
|
command-line arguments are expected to be just mangled names and no
|
|
checking is performed to separate them from surrounding text. Thus
|
|
for example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 1
|
|
\& c++filt \-n _Z1fv
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
will work and demangle the name to \*(L"f()\*(R" whereas:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 1
|
|
\& c++filt \-n _Z1fv,
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
will not work. (Note the extra comma at the end of the mangled
|
|
name which makes it invalid). This command however will work:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 1
|
|
\& echo _Z1fv, | c++filt \-n
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
and will display \*(L"f(),\*(R", i.e., the demangled name followed by a
|
|
trailing comma. This behaviour is because when the names are read
|
|
from the standard input it is expected that they might be part of an
|
|
assembler source file where there might be extra, extraneous
|
|
characters trailing after a mangled name. For example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 1
|
|
\& .type _Z1fv, @function
|
|
.Ve

On some systems, both the C and \*(C+ compilers put an underscore in front

of every name. For example, the C name \f(CW\*(C`foo\*(C'\fR gets the low-level
|
|
name \f(CW\*(C`_foo\*(C'\fR. This option removes the initial underscore. Whether

\&\fBc++filt\fR removes the underscore by default is target dependent.

Attempt to demangle types as well as function names. This is disabled

Enables or disables a limit on the amount of recursion performed
|
|
whilst demangling strings. Since the name mangling formats allow for
|
|
an inifinite level of recursion it is possible to create strings whose
|
|
decoding will exhaust the amount of stack space available on the host
|
|
machine, triggering a memory fault. The limit tries to prevent this
|
|
from happening by restricting recursion to 2048 levels of nesting.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The default is for this limit to be enabled, but disabling it may be
|
|
necessary in order to demangle truly complicated names. Note however

|
that if the recursion limit is disabled then stack exhaustion is
|
|
possible and any bug reports about such an event will be rejected.
