Re: C++ ABI: Mangling of call_expr

But what is a CALL_EXPR? Its two-letter mangled name is "cl", but it

allowed". But then, I can't see which production is supposed to use.


looks like a bug in the ABI spec. To be demanglable, there must be a count
of the number of parameters encoded.
Mark, have I missed something?


Since we are at it, I think the ABI is also missing a description of how to
mangle a call to a constructor.
Isn't that just the same as a call with a funny name?


It's missing a description of all member function calls, and of calls like (expr).Foo (); where Foo turns out to be a static member -- where do I put the mangling for 'expr'?
