I would like user of the plugin to give in arguments the name of the
functions on which he would like a test to be run. That means that I must
convert the string containing a function name (like "myclass::init") and get
either the mangled name or the tree corresponding to the function. I know
that there might be several results (functions with the same name and
different arguments), a good policy for me would be to recover every
concerned functions (at least for the moment).
I guess what I want to do is possible, because there are already some tools
doing it (like gdb).
Are you absolutely sure about gdb? It could be doing it the other way
around, i.e. start from the mangled names in the object file and
demangle all of them. Then it would search for a function name in its
list of demangled names.
Just guessing, though :)

Hello,
no I am not sure, but I guess it would really have an important cost to
do it like you said. Would it no be easier to have a field containing
the 'demangled' names? At least in debug since it has an important space
complexity.
Thanks!
