Hello,

I stumbled upon a mangling issue when trying to interface C++ with D. Basically I have the following entities:

1) The D stl_pair code:

module core.stdcpp.stl_pair;

version (CRuntime_Glibc) {
	extern (C++, std) struct pair(T1, T2) {

		alias first_type = T1;
		alias second_type = T2;

		T1 first;
		T2 second;


		this(T1 x, T2 y) { first = x; second = y; }

		this(U1, U2)(auto ref U1 x, auto ref U2 y) {
			if (isConvertible!(U1, T1) && isConvertible!(U2, T2)) {
				first = x;
				second = y;
			}
		}

		this(U1, U2)(auto ref pair!(U1,  U2) p) {
			first = p.first; second = p.second;
		}

		this(U1, U2)(auto ref const pair!(U1,  U2) p) {
			first = p.first; second = p.second;
		}

                // this should link directly
		void swap(ref pair rhs);
}}

2) The D test code:

import core.stdcpp.stl_pair;

void main()
{
	auto p = pair!(void*,void*)(null, null);
	auto p2 = pair!(void*,void*)(null, null);
	p.swap(p2);

}

3) The C++ test code:

#include <utility>

void unused(std::pair<void*,void*> &p) { p.swap(p); }


Using the C++ file I create an object file and link it with the D test code. Now this generated the following error: " undefined reference to `_ZNSt4pairIPvS1_E4swapERStS0_IS1_S1_E' "

After inspecting the C++ obj it is clearly noticeable that we have mangling discrepancy:

_ZNSt4pairIPvS0_E4swapERS1_            // C++ generated
_ZNSt4pairIPvS1_E4swapERStS0_IS1_S1_E  // D required

Currently I have no experience with this part and require assistance. If someone could guide me where to look and how to fix this I can create the PR.

Thanks,
Alex

Mangling for templates is done in dtemplate.d
The it uses the Visitor defined in dmangle.d
