            Bug ID: 15830
           Summary: upgrade "maint demangle" to a regular user command.
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: palves at redhat dot com

GDB has all the bits necessary internally already for doing the equivalent
of:

  $ echo _ZNSt16nested_exceptionD2Ev | c++filt
  std::nested_exception::~nested_exception()

In fact, it already has such a command -- "maint demangle".
Demangling is something a user will reasonable want to do.  IBWN to expose this
functionality as a regular user command.

Yeah, though the command as currently formulated is a bit of a pain.  At
least, I usually forget to "set lang c++" first and then have to go
back.  Similarly, sometimes it would be nice to be able to specify the
language as an argument.
