A library for demangling and mangling Visual Studio C++ names.

cppmangle

A library for demangling and mangling Visual Studio C++ names.

Installation

Simply download from PyPI or download from Github.

$ pip install cppmangle

Getting started

The installation will install a package named cppmangle and a command-line script cppdemangle.

Pass the script one or more mangled names to get them demangled.

$ cppdemangle '?get_minion_stats@@YA?AUminion_stats@@H@Z'
struct minion_stats __cdecl get_minion_stats(int)

You can also pass a filename prefixed with an at-sign, the script will demangle each line in the file.

$ cppdemangle @names.txt

Using the library

You can also use the library from Python code by importing cppmangle module. Use demangle function to turn the mangled name into a AST object (see the ast module for more) and mangle to turn it back to a string. The function cdecl_sym will turn the AST object into a string containing a C++ declaration.

>>> from cppmangle import demangle, cdecl_sym
>>> demangle('?get_minion_stats@@YA?AUminion_stats@@H@Z')
<cppmangle.ast.Function object at 0x02754F30>
>>> cdecl_sym(_)
'struct minion_stats __cdecl get_minion_stats(int)'
