Yes. The mangling cannot change.
(There has been a lot of pontificating lately about who knows what
about ABIs. I may not be the world's greatest expert, but I know that
the mangling is one of the things we cannot change after GCC 3.0.
Unless we got it so badly wrong that more than one thing can mangle to
the same name, in which case something will have to be done. Other
than that, we can't change the mangling, even if it's buggy with
respect to the spec, or even if information required for demangling is
missing.)
