Name Mangling

[mattsdad]

How do I descipher the function names in the following message:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __stdcall SEG_debris_initialization(char const *,int,int const *,double const *)" (?SEG_debris_initialization@@YGXPBDHPBHPBN@Z) referenced in function "void __cdecl SEG_debris_initialization(char const *,int,double const *)" (?SEG_debris_initialization@@YAXPBDHPBN@Z)

When this prints out, the names are aligned. So, I want to know what the

@@YGXPBDHPBHPBN@Zand

@@YAXPBDHPBH@Z

parts mean EXACTLY.

This is C++ name mangling. There is a standard way of decoding this, but you'll have to look for it elsewhere, such as here.
