Keeping in mind that it is C++, feed those names into demangle and you get:

$ demangle
_hex__FR3ios
hex(ios &)
_dec__FR3ios
dec(ios &)

Now you can see what to look for.

BTW demangle.c is part of gcc, years ago I wrote a main() for it so that 
collect2 could issue meaningful errors.  If interested grab
