Re: [PATCH][RFC] Malloc-less demangler interface

I don't think it helps.  what() apparently is supposed to return a

The new interface lets you avoid allocating any memory when you call
the demangler. But it doesn't have any magic to help if you need to
return the result somewhere.


I see, thanks for the explanation. Any personal opinion about the PR? I mean, if Icc also doesn't demangle (anymore) and implementing such behavior apparently is almost impossible, we could as well close the PR as WONTFIX or NOTABUG...

Paolo.
