mangle vt.   1. Used similarly to {mung} or {scribble}, but more    violent in its connotations; something that is mangled has been    irreversibly and totally trashed. 2. To produce the {mangled name}    corresponding to a C++ declaration.
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
mangled name n.   A name, appearing in a C++ object file, that    is a coded representation of the object declaration as it appears in    the source. Mangled names are used because C++ allows multiple    objects to have the same name, as long as they are distinguishable    in some other way, such as by having different parameter types.    Thus, the internal name must have that additional information    embedded in it, using the limited character set allowed by most    linkers. For instance, one popular compiler encodes the standard    library function declaration "memchr(const void*,int,unsigned int)"    as "@memchr$qpxviui".
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
mangler n.   [DEC] A manager.   Compare {management}.   Note that    {system mangler} is somewhat different in connotation.

In past years extensive mineral resources had    been developed with Soviet support; total Soviet assistance at its    height amounted to 30% of GDP. The mining and processing of coal,    copper, molybdenum, tin, tungsten, and gold account for a large part    of industrial production. Timber and fishing are also important    sectors. The Mongolian leadership has been gradually making the    transition from Soviet-style central planning to a market economy    through privatization and price reform, and is soliciting support from    international financial agencies and foreign investors. The economy,    however, has still not recovered from the loss of Soviet aid, and the    country continues to suffer substantial economic hardships, with    one-fourth of the population below the poverty line.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $4.4 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 2.5% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $1,800 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 70% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: 15% (1991 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $NA    expenditures: $NA, including capital expenditures of $NA (1991 est.)    note: deficit of $67 million       Exports: $360 million (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: copper, livestock, animal products, cashmere, wool,    hides, fluorspar, other nonferrous metals    partners: former CMEA countries 62%, China 17%, EC 8% (1992)       Imports: $361 million (f.o.b., 1993 est.)    commodities: machinery and equipment, fuels, food products, industrial    consumer goods, chemicals, building materials, sugar, tea    partners: USSR 75%, Austria 5%, China 5% (1991)       External debt: $NA       Industrial production: growth rate -15% (1992 est.); accounts for    about 42% of GDP       Electricity:    capacity: 900,000 kW    production: 3.1 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 1,267 kWh (1993)       Industries: copper, processing of animal products, building materials,    food and beverage, mining (particularly coal)       Agriculture: accounts for about 35% of GDP and provides livelihood for    about 50% of the population; livestock raising predominates (primarily    sheep and goats, but also cattle, camels, and horses); crops - wheat,    barley, potatoes, forage       Economic aid: NA       Currency: 1 tughrik (Tug) = 100 mongos       Exchange rates: tughriks (Tug) per US$1 - 415.34 (January 1995),    412.72 (1994), 42.56 (1992), 9.52 (1991), 5.63 (1990)    note: the exchange rate 40 tughriks = 1US$ was introduced June 1991    and was in force to the end of 1992; beginning 27 May 1993 the    exchange rate is the midpoint of the average buying and selling rates    that are freely determined on the basis of market transactions between    commercial banks and the nonbank public       Fiscal year: calendar year       Mongolia:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 1,750 km    broad gauge: 1,750 km 1.524-m gauge (1988)       Highways:    total: 46,700 km    paved: 1,000 km    unpaved: 45,700 km (1988)       Inland waterways: 397 km of principal routes (1988)       Ports: none       Airports:    total: 34    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 7    with paved runways under 914 m: 1    with unpaved runways over 3,047 m: 3    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 5    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 10    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 3    with unpaved runways under 914 m: 5       Mongolia:Communications       Telephone system: 63,000 telephones (1989)    local: NA    intercity: NA    international: at least 1 satellite earth station       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 12, FM 1, shortwave 0    radios: 220,000       Television:    broadcast stations: 1 (provincial repeaters - 18)    televisions: 120,000       Mongolia:Defense Forces       Branches: Mongolian People's Army (includes Internal Security Forces    and Frontier Guards), Air Force       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 605,633; males fit for military    service 394,433; males reach military age (18) annually 25,862 (1995    est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $22.8 million, 1% of    GDP (1992)
