>Description:
When i try to debug my C++ application with gdb i get mangled C++ names in gdb output:

I also downloaded & built a version of c++filt (version GNU c++filt (GNU Binutils)2.18 to be more precise).

When i run the c++filt program with my mangles names as input i get correct demangled names on the output:
Examples:

./binutils/cxxfilt _ZN7WSLCLAG21select_actuator_parmsEi
WSLCLAG::select_actuator_parms(int)

./binutils/cxxfilt _ZN7CxxTest14ErrorFormatter3runEv
CxxTest::ErrorFormatter::run()

./binutils/cxxfilt _ZN7WSLCLAG7destroyEv
WSLCLAG::destroy()
