BUG: Source Browser Shows Decorated Name for Member Template

ID: Q241217

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

Source Browser shows the decorated name instead of the undecorated name for a member template function.

CAUSE

The underlying name decoration and undecoration scheme does not handle member template functions correctly.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Compile the following code with the Generate Browser Info option selected in Project Settings dialog box:


class CC
{
public:
   
    template <typename K>
    K test(K k) { return k; }
};

int main()
{
    CC c;
    int d=5;
    int i = c.test(d);
    return 0;
}

On the Tools menu, click Source Browser.

In the Select Query list box, click Definitions And References.

Select the member template function test.

The following decorated name appears:


?test@CC@@QAE?AVtemplate-parameter-BAB@Vtemplate-parameter-BAB@@Z

NOTE: The same problem occurs if you use the BSC APIs from the Browser ToolKit.
