is there any C++ name-mangling decoder for g++?
Since C is a programming language that does not support name function overloading, it does no name mangling.
Name mangling is the encoding of function and variable names into unique names so that linkers can separate common names in the language. Type names may also be mangled. Name mangling is commonly used to facilitate the overloading feature and visibility within different scopes.
The need for name mangling arises where the language allows different entities to be named with the same identifier as long as they occupy a different namespace (typically defined by a module, class, or explicit namespace directive) or have different signatures (such as in function overloading).
Name mangling is a term that denotes the process of mapping a name that is valid in a particular programming language to a name that is valid in the CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL).
You can use c++filt to demangle c++ symbols. For instance
$ c++filt -n _Z1fv f()
