.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The C++ language provides function overloading, which means that you can
|
||
|
|
write many functions with the same name (providing each takes parameters
|
||
|
|
of different types). All C++ function names are encoded into a
|
||
|
|
low-level assembly label (this process is known as
|
||
|
|
.I mangling\c
|
||
|
|
). The
|
||
|
|
.B @PROGRAM@
|
||
|
|
program does the inverse mapping: it decodes (\fIdemangles\fR)
|
||
|
|
low-level names into user-level names so that the linker can keep
|
||
|
|
these overloaded functions from clashing.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Every alphanumeric word (consisting of letters, digits, underscores,
|
||
|
|
dollars, or periods) seen in the input is a potential label. If the
|
||
|
|
label decodes into a C++ name, the C++ name replaces the low-level
|
||
|
|
name in the output.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
You can use
|
||
|
|
.B @PROGRAM@
|
||
|
|
to decipher individual symbols by specifying these symbols on the
|
||
|
|
command line.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If no
|
||
|
|
.B symbol
|
||
|
|
arguments are given,
|
||
|
|
.B @PROGRAM@
|
||
|
|
reads symbol names from the standard input and writes the demangled
|
||
|
|
names to the standard output. All results are printed on the standard
|
||
|
|
output.

|
.B \-\-strip\-underscores
|
||
|
|
On some systems, both the C and C++ compilers put an
|
||
|
|
underscore in front of every name. For example, the C name
|
||
|
|
.B foo
|
||
|
|
gets the low-level name
|
||
|
|
.BR _foo .
|
||
|
|
This option removes the leading underscore.

GNU

.B nm

|
can decode three different methods of mangling, used by different C++
|
||
|
|
compilers. This option selects which method it uses: the one used by
|
||
|
|
the GNU compiler, the one used by the Lucid compiler, or the one
|
||
|
|
specified by the C++ Annotated Reference Manual. The default is the
|
||
|
|
GNU style.
