The C++ and Java languages provides function overloading, which means
that you can write many functions with the same name (providing each
takes parameters of different types). All C++ and Java function names
are encoded into a low-level assembly label (this process is known as
@dfn{mangling}). The @code{c++filt} program does the inverse mapping: it
decodes (@dfn{demangles}) low-level names into user-level names so that
the linker can keep these overloaded functions from clashing.

Every alphanumeric word (consisting of letters, digits, underscores,
dollars, or periods) seen in the input is a potential label. If the
