symbol name -> prototype

[OS923]

How can I convert a symbol name to a prototype?

Is there a library that can do this?

[OS923]

The Fragmalyzer has an SDK with a library. In the header is

Code: [Select]

pascal void FrazUnmangleSymbol(StringPtr inStMangled, StringPtr outStUnmangled);That does what I want. But it's a stub library. When the program starts it asks where's the library. Then I changed the type of The Fragmalyzer into 'shlb' and its name into "Fragmalyzer" and this worked, but when the program quits it crashes.

I was using The Fragmalyzer 1.1.2 from https://www.info-mac.org/viewtopic.php?f=110&t=2032

I found a more recent version on archive.org (1.5.2). I'm watching this now on a Windows computer. The FragmalyzerLib from 1.5.2 is larger than the libraries from 1.1.2 together. Maybe this will be a shared library.

A possible solution is to write a plugin that adds an Apple event handler to The Fragmalyzer that does the conversion.

I found on Wikipedia that it's called "demangle" and that every compiler follows its own scheme. Then I googled epiced "codewarrior demangle symbol" and I found this Python program:

The CodeWarrior development kit for PlayStation X had a DEMANGLE.H and SYMMUNGE.OBJ Maybe there's something similar on one of the CodeWarrior install CDs.

MPW has an unmangle command.

Then I changed the type of The Fragmalyzer into 'shlb' and its name into "Fragmalyzer" and this worked, but when the program quits it crashes.

I found the bug. Now it doesn't crash anymore.
