[cxx-abi-dev] Name mangling question

Wed Nov 27 14:42:37 UTC 2002

I agree that the mangling you gave is correct for your example, but that is
not the example I gave and it is not the mangling g++ gives for my example.
In my example _Impl is nested inside locale.  The mangling g++ gives is
_ZN6locale5_Impl3fooERS0_.

Demangled this is locale::_Impl::foo(locale::_Impl&)

So you agree that the mangling that g++ generates is correct? If not,
what other mangling would you expect?
