Only if the functions are name mangled, you know what language and version
of the compiler the DLL was created in, and you know how to decode the
mangled name.  Alos, in the case of C++ the return value is not included in
the name mangling.

In general, the answer to this question is "no" unless you are writing a
very specific tailored application and want to spend some time creating the
decoding algorithm.
