It just never occurred to me how easily That's right. I don't know if the gdb-maintainer will accept such a change, though. Maybe I can do it in a less intrusive way with using #ifdef __sun cplus_demangle(sun_args); #else cplus_demangle(gnu_args); #endif on every occurance of cplus_demangle, but IMHO it would be better if the name of the function would change. > one can make such a massive change. Well, in the simplest case, you would use sed to rename the existing function to "gdb_cplus_demangle" and in the implementation body of the function you'd just add one #ifdef __sun and use the sun version of cplus_demangle(). If you need more arguments, well, then you have to change every occurence of the call as well. We'll see... > I already looked at source code and it seems to my untrained (with respect to > gdb code) eye that it should be fairly easy.

I'll have to think about this a little more, if it makes sense to have this demangling style still switchable even if we are on solaris.

Almost noone want's to get his hands dirty and spend some time improving free software. :-) Well, I'll give it a shot next week, as time permits. Now off into the weekend ... :-) Guenther
