Browsing 'Decorated Names' in Visual Studio

Question

I'm working on a (rather horrible) project that involves importing a C++ class hierarchy through a dll interface. One of the more horrible details requires me know the 'decorated' names for the various class elements that are exposed - mostly member functions and static data.

There are many ways to achieve this - the assembly listing or map file, dumpbin, a dependency walker, the _FUNCDNAME_ macro, etc. Unfortunately, they all require me to actually compile the code or have the compiled dll - and all I have available is the header files. (That may leave you scratching your head for a minute - just take my word that it truly is a horrible project.)

Now, I can easily concoct something compilable from just the headers and use one of the above approaches. But if I can avoid it, that would be much better. So my question is: is there a way to browse decorated symbol names from within Visual Studio, a la Object Browser? I know that the decoration is technically done at compile time, but Intellisense does so many other things while you type that I'm hoping it might do this too.

Answer 1

If all else fail take that .h, rename it to .cpp, replace all semicolons (;) with

{
#pragma message(__FUNCDNAME__)
}

edit it a little, and compile it. You'll get your list.
