How to make gdb show the original non-mangling function name on disassembly model?

void outputString(const char *str) {
  cout << "outputString(const char *str) : " << str << endl;
}

turns out to be

All the disassemblies show only the manglinged function names,but its not eaiser for programmer to de-mangling and get the original function names with th开发者_如何学编程e bother to typing info symbol address for each mangling name met,so are there any methods that could make gdb show non-mangling function names on assembly model?

You could do maint demangle _ZStlsISt11char_traitsIcEERSt13basic_ostreamIcT_ES5_PKc at the (gdb) prompt.

The manual says:

`set print asm-demangle'
`set print asm-demangle on'
     Print C++ names in their source form rather than their mangled
     form, even in assembler code printouts such as instruction
     disassemblies.  The default is off.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to work:

(gdb) set print asm-demangle on
(gdb) disas

0x00000000004009f9 <outputString(char const*)+53>:  retq   
End of assembler dump.

The setting changed how the current function is printed, but not how the functions it calls are printed (which is what I assume you are after).

I think that is a bug in GDB, please file a bug in bugzilla.

Update:

The bug has been fixed in 2013. With GDB-10.0 the output is:

I don't remember ever finding an automatic way for gdb to do it. I always just copied and pasted the symbol and ran it through the Linux c++filt utility to demangle.

gdb show the original non-mangling function name on disassembly model ::

you have to do this steps every time whenever you are going to debug. 1. set print demangle on 2. set print asm-demangle on

Else you can create vim ~/.gdbinit file like ~/.vimrc file and set following steps so you no need to do every time on . 1 set print pretty on 2 set print demangle on 3 set print asm-demangle on
