Binding C++

When binding the C++ object modules shown in Figure 1, the binder generates the following definition sidedeck.

IMPORT CODE ,TRIANGLE, getarea__8triangleFv
IMPORT CODE ,TRIANGLE, getperim__8triangleFv
IMPORT CODE ,TRIANGLE, __ct__8triangleFv

You can edit the definition sidedeck to remove any functions and variables that you do not want to export. In the preceding example, if you do not want to expose getperim(), remove the control statement

IMPORT CODE ,TRIANGLE,
getperim__8triangleFv

from the definition sidedeck.

Note:

Removing functions and variables from the definition sidedeck does not minimize the performance impact caused by specifying the EXPORTALL compiler option.
Side-decks are created without newline characters, therefore you cannot edit them with an editor that expects newline characters, such as vi in z/OS UNIX.

The definition sidedeck contains mangled names, such as getarea__8triangleFv. To find the original function or variable name in your source module, review the compiler listing created or use the CXXFILT utility. This will permit you to see both the mangled and demangled names. For more information about the CXXFILT utility, see Filter utility in z/OS XL C/C++ User's Guide.
