You can use the GNU nm (or objdump) from the binutils package to
demangle g++'s C++ symbols.

However, the GNU nm won't demangle Sun CC's symbols; you'll have to
stick with Sun's nm for that.

If you need both and can't choose the correct nm ahead of time, you
could write a wrapper to run G++ C++ symbols through the cp_demangle
function in libiberty (in the GCC, binutils and gdb source trees amongst
other places). All G++ manglings start '_Z'; but you can find a
definitive spec at
