Well, "demangled" in a very C-ish sense: drop all namespace and parameter
information. The symbol name contains parameter information that might
be useful to determine that this is not a suitable kind of malloc:
...$ c++filt
_ZN29_GLOBAL__N__00000000_271D34D06mallocEii
(anonymous namespace)::malloc(int, int)
Anyway, thanks for the great hint!
