VMS Help CXXDEMANGLE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The CXXDEMANGLE command enables you to decode compiler-generated names.
  To accomplish this, CXXDEMANGLE uses a data file created by the C++
  compiler when you compile a program.  The data file contains a
  mapping of symbol names from their encoded to decoded forms.
  When asked to decode a name that is not the data file, CXXDEMANGLE
  returns the original name.

  CXXDEMANGLE provides two interfaces: a command line interface and an
  interactive interface.

  o To use the command line interface, enter the CXXDEMANGLE command followed
    by a comma-separated list of symbol names in their mangled form.
    CXXDEMANGLE then displays the demangled form of each symbol and exits.
    The syntax for the command line interface is:

    CXXDEMANGLE mangled-symbol-name [,...]

  o To use the interactive interface, enter the CXXDEMANGLE command without
    specifying a symbol name.  CXXDEMANGLE then waits for you to enter a
    symbol name in its mangled form.  When you enter a symbol, CXXDEMANGLE
    displays the demangled form of the symbol and waits for you to enter
    another symbol, and so forth.  To exit the interactive interface, enter
    <CTRL/Z>.  The syntax for the interactive interface is:

       CXXDEMANGLE
       mangled-symbol-name
       [...]
       <CRTL/Z>

1 - Command Parameters

  mangled-symbol-name

  CXXDEMANGLE accepts symbol names in their mangled form, as they might
  appear in the output from a CXXLINK/NOEXPAND command.

  If you specify a mangled symbol name using the command line interface
  and the symbol contains lowercase letters, you must place the symbol
  within quotes.  For example, $ CXXDEMANGLE "MyFunction__xic".  Quotes are
  not necessary when entering mangled symbol names using the interactive
  interface.

2 - Data File

   You can specify the location of the data file using the logical name
   CXX$DEMANGLER_DB.  For example, if the data file is in your login directory
   and is named MYCXXDB.DAT, you would define the CXX$DEMANGLER_DB logical
   name as follows:

      $ DEFINE CXX$DEMANGLER_DB SYS$LOGIN:MYCXXDB.DAT

   If you do not define the CXX$DEMANGLER_DB logical name, CXXDEMANGLE
   looks for the data file in the repositories specified by the /REPOSITORY
   qualifier.  If you do not specify the /REPOSITORY qualifier, CXXDEMANGLE
   looks for the data file in the sys$disk:[.cxx_repository] directory.

3 - Qualifiers

  The CXXDEMANGLE command accepts a single qualifier:

     /REPOSITORY=(repository[,...])

4 - /REPOSITORY=(repository[,...])

   Names the repository directories which contain the data files used by
   CXXDEMANGLE.

   The /REPOSITORY qualifier is ignored if you define the CXX$DEMANGLER_DB
   logical name.  See Data File for details.
