    153    *  @brief Demangling routine.
    154    *  ABI-mandated entry point in the C++ runtime library for demangling.
    155    *
    156    *  @param __mangled_name A NUL-terminated character string
    157    *  containing the name to be demangled.
    158    *
    159    *  @param __output_buffer A region of memory, allocated with
    160    *  malloc, of @a *__length bytes, into which the demangled name is
    161    *  stored.  If @a __output_buffer is not long enough, it is
    162    *  expanded using realloc.  @a __output_buffer may instead be NULL;
    163    *  in that case, the demangled name is placed in a region of memory
    164    *  allocated with malloc.
    165    *
    166    *  @param __length If @a __length is non-NULL, the length of the
    167    *  buffer containing the demangled name is placed in @a *__length.
    168    *
    169    *  @param __status @a *__status is set to one of the following values:
    170    *   0: The demangling operation succeeded.
    171    *  -1: A memory allocation failure occurred.
    172    *  -2: @a mangled_name is not a valid name under the C++ ABI mangling rules.
    173    *  -3: One of the arguments is invalid.
    174    *
    175    *  @return A pointer to the start of the NUL-terminated demangled
    176    *  name, or NULL if the demangling fails.  The caller is
    177    *  responsible for deallocating this memory using @c free.
    178    *
    179    *  The demangling is performed using the C++ ABI mangling rules,
    180    *  with GNU extensions. For example, this function is used in
    181    *  __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler.
    182    *
    183    *  See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/bk01pt12ch39.html
    184    *  for other examples of use.
    185    *
    186    *  @note The same demangling functionality is available via
    187    *  libiberty (@c <libiberty/demangle.h> and @c libiberty.a) in GCC
    188    *  3.1 and later, but that requires explicit installation (@c
    189    *  --enable-install-libiberty) and uses a different API, although
    190    *  the ABI is unchanged.
