Well, you shouldn't. This is because the C++ name mangling might change
in the future. Instead, you should make inline C++ wrapping functions:

extern "C" {
	/* Place C and assembly functions here. */
	int myAssemblyStub(int a, int b);
};

class AsmClass {
	:
	:
	int myFunc(int a, int b =3D 0) { return myAssemlyStub(a, b); }
};

Well, if you really want to know, the numbers usually stand for the
number of characters in a struct/class name. For instance:

_play__4game_ii  --->  game::play(int, int);
_play__4game_RC8fix16_16  -->  game::play(const fix16_16 &);

Note that the program cxxfilt.exe converts mangled names back to C++ name=
s.
Also note that the macro
	__FUNCTION__ returns the mangled name, while
	__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ returns the C++ name.

PKE.
