decodes (demangles) low-level names into user-level names so that the linker can keep these overloaded functions from clashing.
may use c++filt to demangle
the symbols.
$ c++filt _ZNSt8ios_base4InitD1Ev
std::ios_base::Init::~Init()
You may try adding
-lstdc++ to your link command
to resolve the issue.
c++filt
c++filt [-_|--strip-underscores] [-j|--java] [-n|--no-strip-underscores] [-p|--no-params] [-sformat|--format=format] [--help] [--version] [symbol...]
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 mangling). The
c++filt
1
program does the inverse mapping: it decodes (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 label decodes into a C++ name, the C++ name replaces the low-level name in the output.
You can use
c++filt
to decipher individual symbols:
c++filt symbol
If no
symbol
arguments are given,
c++filt
reads symbol names from the standard input and writes the demangled names to the standard output. All results are printed on the standard output.
-
-_ -
--strip-underscores -
On some systems, both the C and C++ compilers put an underscore in front of every name. For example, the C name
foogets the low-level name_foo. This option removes the initial underscore. Whetherc++filtremoves
the underscore by default is target dependent. -
-j -
--java - Prints demangled names using Java syntax. The default is to use C++ syntax.
-
-n -
--no-strip-underscores - Do not remove the initial underscore.
-
-p -
--no-params - When demangling the name of a function, do not display the types of the function's parameters.
-
-sformat -
--format=format -
c++filtcan decode various methods of mangling, used by different compilers. The argument to this option selects which method it uses:-
auto - Automatic selection based on executable (the default method)
-
gnu - the one used by the GNU C++ compiler (g++)
-
lucid - the one used by the Lucid compiler (lcc)
-
arm - the one specified by the C++ Annotated Reference Manual
-
hp - the one used by the HP compiler (aCC)
-
edg - the one used by the EDG compiler
-
gnu-v3 - the one used by the GNU C++ compiler (g++) with the V3 ABI.
-
java - the one used by the GNU Java compiler (gcj)
-
gnat - the one used by the GNU Ada compiler (GNAT).
-
-
--help -
Print a summary of the options to
c++filtand exit. -
--version -
Print the version number of
c++filtand exit.
Warning:
c++filtis a new utility, and the details of its user interface are subject to change in future releases. In particular, a command-line option may be required in the the future to decode a name passed as an argument
on the command line; in other words,c++filt symbolmay in a future release become
c++filt option symbol
