char[] demangle(const(char)[] buf, char[] dst = null);

Demangles D mangled names. If it is not a D mangled name, it returns its argument name.

Parameters:

const(char)[] buf	The string to demangle.
char[] dst	An optional destination buffer.

Returns:

The demangled name or the original string if the name is not a mangled D name.

char[] demangleType(const(char)[] buf, char[] dst = null);

Demangles a D mangled type.

Parameters:

const(char)[] buf	The string to demangle.
char[] dst	An optional destination buffer.

Returns:

The demangled type name or the original string if the name is not a mangled D type.

pure nothrow @safe char[] mangle(T)(const(char)[] fqn, char[] dst = null);

Mangles a D symbol.

Parameters:

T	The type of the symbol.
const(char)[] fqn	The fully qualified name of the symbol.
char[] dst	An optional destination buffer.

Returns:

The mangled name for a symbols of type T and the given fully qualified name.

Examples:

assert(mangle!int("a.b") == "_D1a1bi");
assert(mangle!(char[])("test.foo") == "_D4test3fooAa");
assert(mangle!(int function(int))("a.b") == "_D1a1bPFiZi");

pure nothrow @safe char[] mangleFunc(T : FT*, FT)(const(char)[] fqn, char[] dst = null) if (is(FT == function));

Mangles a D function.

Parameters:

T	function pointer type.
const(char)[] fqn	The fully qualified name of the symbol.
char[] dst	An optional destination buffer.

Returns:

The mangled name for a function with function pointer type T and the given fully qualified name.

Examples:

assert(mangleFunc!(int function(int))("a.b") == "_D1a1bFiZi");
assert(mangleFunc!(int function(Object))("object.Object.opEquals") == "_D6object6Object8opEqualsFC6ObjectZi");

char[] mangleC(const(char)[] sym, char[] dst = null);

Mangles a C function or variable.

Parameters:

const(char)[] sym	The C symbol to mangle.
char[] dst	An optional destination buffer.

Returns:

The mangled name for a C function or variable, i.e. an underscore is prepended or not, depending on the compiler/linker tool chain
