1. mangled name
A name, appearing in a C++ object file, that is a coded
representation of the object declaration as it appears in the
source. Mangled names are used because C++ allows multiple objects to have
the same name, as long as they are distinguishable in some other way, such
as by having different parameter types. Thus, the internal name must have
that additional information embedded in it, using the limited character set
allowed by most linkers. For instance, one popular compiler encodes the
standard library function declaration “memchr(const
void*,int,unsigned int)” as “@memchr$qpxviui”.
