Hi, I've been trying to use -export-symbols-regex with a C++ library, but the way this feature currently works means that you get the mangled versions of the symbols. This seems less than ideal for (at least) a couple of reasons: * The mangled versions really are a cryptic implementation detail of the compiler. * Different systems may use different name mangling schemes. Libtool is meant to aid portability which argues for presenting the unmangled names to be matched. What seems to be needed is a demangling step before the regexp is matched, and a remangling step after (so the symbols match those in the library). If GNU nm is being used, we can demangle with that - otherwise we need to find a similar switch, or perhaps include a small utility. But is demangling always reversible? Can we be sure that we'll get back to the symbol we started with, or do we need to make a map of what the demangling did? Cheers, Olly
