Hi all,
In my project, I have many interactions between C++, C and assembler
code, symbol alias definitions in linker scripts etc.
The problem is that I very often have to refer to symbols emitted for
C++ entities from outside C++ source files. This means that the mangled
representation of C++ identifiers has to be used, which is quite painful:
; irq.S
__ciao_irq4:
; invoke hw::irq::ASC1_TBUF::HWHandler()
call _ZN2hw3irq9ASC1_TBUF9HWHandlerEv
rfe
I am looking for a preprocessor that provides means to mangle/demangle
C++ identifiers by some "magic macros":
; irq.S
__ciao_irq4:
; invoke hw::irq::ASC1_TBUF::HWHandler()
call MANGLE("hw::irq::ASC1_TBUF::HWHandler()")
rfe
Here, the preprocessor should replace MANGLE("<C++ identifier>") by
<mangled representation of C++ identifer>.
In the ideal case, this would be integrated into a real CPP. Well, I am
dreaming. But maybe anybody knows of any kind of preprocessor that
provides this kind of functionality?
(Yes, I am aware of c++filt, which however works only in one direction
(mangled->demangled) and does not provide any means to explicitly
destinct elements it should process from those it shouldn't)
Thanks a lot!
Daniel
