Hi,<div><br></div><div>The question about the name mangling gave me an idea that it can be used to automate registration of DLL functions. Instead of manually creating Function objects specifying a return type and argument types which is error-prone and time-consuming one can get a list of functions exported from a DLL using Windows API, demangle each name and construct a Function object from it. Is there any support for Visual C++ style (de)mangling in LLVM or related project? In any case I think it won't be difficult for me to write such a converter from mangled names to LLVM function declarations.</div>

</div>The OP says that he wants to link to a dll coded in C++. Isn't name<br>
mangling the main problem here?<br>
