Yes, i've seen that. But i thought that having the support in hatari is easier to handle, since you don't have to create a separate *.sym file, which also has the potential danger of being out-of-sync with the program if you forget to recreate it.

I'm not sure either, but this is how it is done in the original program:https://github.com/th-otto/binutils/blob/736748e986ded9c6e57620fcb7d3f668ee73d046/binutils/cxxfilt.c#L52-L77

Maybe for hatari that isn't relevant, since such symbols are usually filtered out later.
