Good point. GCC implements the Itanium C++ ABI, specified here: http://www.codesourcery.com/public/cxx-abi/abi.html You will see that, contrary to my expectation, this specification does in fact guarantee some form to that expression. Search for the demangler API. -- P. _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
