Function
Typical type information in a function name looks like this:
- Optional: Prefix
_(means __based property is used) - Access level and function type
- Conditional: __based property, if used
- Conditional: adjustor property (as encoded unsigned number), if thunk function
- Conditional: CV-class modifier of function, if non-static member function
- Function property
The table below shows codes for access level and function type:
| none | static | virtual | thunk | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| private: | A, B |
C, D |
E, F |
G, H |
| protected: | I, J |
K, L |
M, N |
O, P |
| public: | Q, R |
S, T |
U, V |
W, X |
| none | Y, Z |
This kind of thunk function is always virtual, and used to represent the logical this adjustor property, which means an offset to the true this value in some multiple inheritance situations.

Famous quotes containing the word function:
““... The state’s one function is to give.
The bud must bloom till blowsy blown
Its petals loosen and are strown;
And that’s a fate it can’t evade
Unless ‘twould rather wilt than fade.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The art of living is to function in society without doing violence to one’s own needs or to the needs of others. The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
