+// An async-signal-safe and thread-safe demangler for Itanium C++ ABI
+// (aka G++ V3 ABI).
+//
+// The demangler is implemented to be used in async signal handlers to
+// symbolize stack traces.  We cannot use libstdc++'s
+// abi::__cxa_demangle() in such signal handlers since it's not async
+// signal safe (it uses malloc() internally).
+//
+// Note that this demangler doesn't support full demangling.  More
+// specifically, it doesn't print types of function parameters and
+// types of template arguments.  It just skips them.  However, it's
+// still very useful to extract basic information such as class,
+// function, constructor, destructor, and operator names.
+//
+// See the implementation note in demangle.cc if you are interested.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// | Mangled Name  | The Demangler | abi::__cxa_demangle()
+// |---------------|---------------|-----------------------
+// | _Z1fv         | f()           | f()
+// | _Z1fi         | f()           | f(int)
+// | _Z3foo3bar    | foo()         | foo(bar)
+// | _Z1fIiEvi     | f<>()         | void f<int>(int)
+// | _ZN1N1fE      | N::f          | N::f
+// | _ZN3Foo3BarEv | Foo::Bar()    | Foo::Bar()
+// | _Zrm1XS_"     | operator%()   | operator%(X, X)
+// | _ZN3FooC1Ev   | Foo::Foo()    | Foo::Foo()
+// | _Z1fSs        | f()           | f(std::basic_string<char,
+// |               |               |   std::char_traits<char>,
+// |               |               |   std::allocator<char> >)
+//
+// See the unit test for more examples.
+//
+// Note: we might want to write demanglers for ABIs other than Itanium
+// C++ ABI in the future.
