Hi I have been building some proto types in c++ that take advantage of
true dynamic linking and loading. One of the problems I found in that
I am required to know the symbol name of the function.

In C this is no problem as the function int f(int) has the symbol name
_f. Since C++ mangles function names this in not the case. I know that
I can get the name mangling stuff from gnu g++, but am I guaranted
that all c++ compilers will mangle the same way?

thanks in advance Andy
