GSoC, Make cp-demangle non-recursive and async-signal safety

[Pedro Alves]

Hi!

I noticed the discussions about making cp-demangle use malloc/free instead of recursion,
and I wonder about signal handlers, and I don't see that mentioned in
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode's description of the project.  

See my question to Ian a few years back, here, and his answer:

https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2018-12/msg00696.html

 cplus_demangle_v3_callback and cplus_demangle_print_callback.

Grepping the gcc tree, I see that libsanitizer uses those entry points.

Is async-signal safety no longer a consideration/concern?  Or will those entry points
continue to work without calling malloc/free somehow?
