Transforming C++ ABI identifiers (like RTTI symbols) into the
original C++ source identifiers is called
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">demangling.</span>”</span>

documentation for <code class="code">namespace abi</code></a> then you are
aware of the cross-vendor C++ ABI in use by GCC. One of the
exposed functions is used for demangling,
<code class="code">abi::__cxa_demangle</code>.
</p><p>
In programs like <span class="command"><strong>c++filt</strong></span>, the linker, and other tools
have the ability to decode C++ ABI names, and now so can you.
</p><p>
(The function itself might use different demanglers, but that's the
whole point of abstract interfaces. If we change the implementation,
you won't notice.)
</p><p>
Probably the only times you'll be interested in demangling at runtime
are when you're seeing <code class="code">typeid</code> strings in RTTI, or when
you're handling the runtime-support exception classes. For example:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
#include &lt;exception&gt;
#include &lt;iostream&gt;
#include &lt;cxxabi.h&gt;
struct empty { };
template &lt;typename T, int N&gt;
struct bar { };
int main()
{
int status;
char *realname;
// exception classes not in &lt;stdexcept&gt;, thrown by the implementation
// instead of the user
std::bad_exception e;
realname = abi::__cxa_demangle(e.what(), 0, 0, &amp;status);
std::cout &lt;&lt; e.what() &lt;&lt; "\t=&gt; " &lt;&lt; realname &lt;&lt; "\t: " &lt;&lt; status &lt;&lt; '\n';
free(realname);
// typeid
bar&lt;empty,17&gt; u;
const std::type_info &amp;ti = typeid(u);
realname = abi::__cxa_demangle(ti.name(), 0, 0, &amp;status);
std::cout &lt;&lt; ti.name() &lt;&lt; "\t=&gt; " &lt;&lt; realname &lt;&lt; "\t: " &lt;&lt; status &lt;&lt; '\n';
free(realname);
return 0;
}
</pre><p>
This prints
</p><pre class="screen">
<code class="computeroutput">
St13bad_exception =&gt; std::bad_exception : 0
3barI5emptyLi17EE =&gt; bar&lt;empty, 17&gt; : 0
</code>
</pre><p>
The demangler interface is described in the source documentation
linked to above. It is actually written in C, so you don't need to
be writing C++ in order to demangle C++. (That also means we have to
use crummy memory management facilities, so don't forget to free()
the returned char array.)
