5 months ago Hi, Thanks for reaching out. Feel free to submit a patch to solve the demangling issue :)
Thanks for your work on
wcc. I'd been looking for an excuse to try it out and had the opportunity to use it recently.Hit a couple of issues along the way so thought I'd mention them.
The app[*] I was investigating was C++ based but I discovered that the
wshC++ symbol demangling functionality appears to have been disabled at some point.My current understanding is:
Symbols are actually demangled here: https://github.com/endrazine/wcc/blame/083662b2c80d568c84740cf8972db55287ed887f/src/wsh/wsh.c#L2544-L2547
But the code that does anything with the demangled symbol has been commented out here which was added (already commented out) in https://github.com/endrazine/wcc/commit/ef6e1b097efc788837a9da312e637f440bede69a#diff-3acd3456f9c5a5226fb32e4c93be467cR2578.
In addition, the code that prints out the demangled symbol seems to have always been commented out: here & here
Unsure if this is in any way related to #24.
It would be useful to have access/visibility into the demangled symbols so hopefully this information will give someone (maybe me? :D ) a starting point to enabling this.
[] Funny story: So, the app I was poking around in was KiCad--the FLOSS electronic design software--which is implemented via the
wxWidgetsframework. Currently there's no way to automate the schematic-related functionality so I wondered ifwccmight help provide a way to do so. Only to eventually discover that KiCad currently implements its core functionality as a (somewhat non-standard) shared library already! :D (Although, given how it's implemented, using* the functionality still seems like a non-trivial task...)
