[comp.sys.sgi] C++ de-mangling

Hi,
	I have a question about C/G++ de-mangling.  I'm beginning to
experiment with g++ and gdb/dbx.  I've found a reference to the syntax of
mangled function/variable names.  However, I was under the vague impression
that gdb and/or some dbxes performed this de-mangling operation for the
user.  Is demangling of c++ functions and variables supposed to be an
automagic occurrence when using gdb or IRIX dbx, or is there some flag to
set or process one must go through to get the de-mangled names inside the
debugger?  I've tried, but cannot get it to happen.

	4D/20G - IRIX 3.3.1, we have the developers stuff, but not C++.
	g++-1.37.2

	Thanks.
