n. A name, appearing in a C++ object file, that is a coded representation of
|
|
|
|
|
the object declaration as it appears in the source. Mangled names are used
|
|
|
|
|
because C++ allows multiple objects to have the same name, as long as they
|
|
|
|
|
are distinguishable in some other way, such as by having different parameter
|
|
|
|
|
types. Thus, the internal name must have that additional information
|
|
|
|
|
embedded in it, using the limited character set allowed by most linkers. For
|
|
|
|
|
instance, one popular compiler encodes the standard library function
|
|
|
|
|
declaration memchr(const void*,int,unsigned int) as @memchr$qpxviui.
