I am curious about demangling and remangling way. Could anyone show me the process? Or give me relevant document cause I've never know of it before.
Thanks in advance,
Kenny

Your scheme should work, provided no information has been lost in the MSVC++
mangling. (It is possible some template information is lost, such that
there are two possible g++ remanglings. I suspect that will not be a problem
in practice.)
I'm sure you're aware that you won't be able to pass class objects across the
library interface.
