Add cppdemangle in druntime
Add cppdemangle in druntime
Having a C++ symbol demangler is very useful, with this it will be possible to implement the C++ symbol demangle in the stacktrace.
The demangling is done in Posix platform by function __cxa_demangle presents in Itanium C++ ABI (https://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io/cxx-abi/abi.html#demangler).
Itanium C++ ABI is used practically in all modern C++ compilers on Posix, however old compilers (like GCC < 3.0) used a different name mangling, this is not a problem because DMD in fact only supports Itanium C++ ABI on Posix.
For Windows instead the implementation it is provided by the UnDecorateSymbolName function present in the Debug Help Library. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dbghelp/nf-dbghelp-undecoratesymbolname)
