Hi Ruvinda,
Rust project have mangle() function in " rust-lang/rust/tree/master/compiler/rustc_symbol_mangling/src/legacy.rs or v0.rs" files.
How can I call this function from nballerina c++ files? Which libraries do i need to include and how to add those in c++ files ?
I want to implement the name mangle feature in nballerina.
Could you please give your suggestions.

How about we create a new Rust staticlib with an "extern C" interface that exposes any functionality that we want to implement on Rust? We can this name mangling logic there.
I've created this example app for your reference: https://github.com/ruvi-d/C-Rust-Interop

WDYT?
