Hi,

Is there a way to get at the mangled name of a member function at
run-time. The reason I ask is because SunOS provides a programmatic
interface to it run-time link editor. I was wondering whether it
would be possible to modify a class libaray (say foo.so.1.0) and
tell programs to re-link the modified code via the dlopen(3X) suite
of functions. I have been able to do this successfully in regular
C functions.

BTW, what other instances of UNIX support dynammically linked libs
and do any of these architectures support programmatic access to
such libraries.
