C++ function pointers can be passed in to the assembly code, which can then 
subsequently be called from within the assembly routines.  I've done this
when calling C++ from C, usually by having a 'setup' routine in the C code
that is called from C++ to set up the pointers to the required C++ functions.

This gets around having to know the mangled names.
