+ * @brief The cross-vendor C++ Application Binary Interface.
+ *
+ * A brief overview of an ABI is given in the libstdc++-v3 FAQ, question
+ * 5.8 (you may have a copy of the FAQ locally, or you can view the online
+ * version at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/faq/index.html#5_8).
+ *
+ * GCC subscribes to a relatively-new cross-vendor ABI for C++, sometimes
+ * called the IA64 ABI because it happens to be the native ABI for that
+ * platform. It is summarized at http://www.codesourcery.com/cxx-abi/
+ * along with the current specification.
+ *
+ * For users of GCC 3.x, entry points are available in <cxxabi.h>, which notes,
+ * <em>"It is not normally necessary for user programs to include this header,
+ * or use the entry points directly. However, this header is available
+ * should that be needed."</em>

+@brief New ABI-mandated entry point in the C++ runtime library for demangling.
+
+@param mangled_name A NUL-terminated character string containing the name
+ to be demangled.
+
+@param output_buffer A region of memory, allocated with malloc, of
+ @a *length bytes, into which the demangled name
+ is stored. If @a output_buffer is not long enough,
+ it is expanded using realloc. @a output_buffer may
+ instead be NULL; in that case, the demangled name is
+ placed in a region of memory allocated with malloc.
+
+@param length If @a length is non-NULL, the length of the buffer containing
+ the demangled name is placed in @a *length.
+
+@param status @a *status is set to one of the following values:
+ - 0: The demangling operation succeeded.
+ - -1: A memory allocation failiure occurred.
+ - -2: @a mangled_name is not a valid name under the C++ ABI
+ mangling rules.
+ - -3: One of the arguments is invalid.
+
+@return A pointer to the start of the NUL-terminated demangled name, or NULL
+ if the demangling fails. The caller is responsible for deallocating
+ this memory using @c free.
+
+
+The demagling is performed using the C++ ABI mangling rules, with
+GNU extensions. For example, this function is used
+in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler. See
+http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/18_support/howto.html#5 for other
+examples of use.
+
+@note The same demangling functionality is available via libiberty
+(@c <libiberty/demangle.h> and @c libiberty.a) in GCC 3.1 and later, but that
+requires explicit installation (@c --enable-install-libiberty) and uses a
+different API, although the ABI is unchanged.
