Jonathan Wakely 544be2beb1 Remove Profile Mode, deprecated since GCC 7.1
The Profile Mode extension is not used by anybody, nor maintained by
anybody. The containers do not support the full API specified in recent
standards, and so enabling Profile Mode is not source compatible with
much modern C++ code. The heuristics that would check the profile
information and make useful suggestions never materialized, so it isn't
useful.

It should be removed.

Transforming C++ ABI identifiers (like RTTI symbols) into the
original C++ source identifiers is called
<span class="quote"><span class="quote">demangling.</span></span>
</p><p>
If you have read the <a class="link" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/latest-doxygen/namespaces.html" target="_top">source
documentation for <code class="code">namespace abi</code></a> then you are
aware of the cross-vendor C++ ABI in use by GCC. One of the
exposed functions is used for demangling,
<code class="code">abi::__cxa_demangle</code>.
</p><p>
In programs like <span class="command"><strong>c++filt</strong></span>, the linker, and other tools
have the ability to decode C++ ABI names, and now so can you.
</p><p>
(The function itself might use different demanglers, but that's the
whole point of abstract interfaces. If we change the implementation,
you won't notice.)
</p><p>
Probably the only times you'll be interested in demangling at runtime
are when you're seeing <code class="code">typeid</code> strings in RTTI, or when
you're handling the runtime-support exception classes. For example:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
#include &lt;exception&gt;
#include &lt;iostream&gt;
#include &lt;cxxabi.h&gt;
struct empty { };
template &lt;typename T, int N&gt;
struct bar { };
int main()
{
int status;
char *realname;
// exception classes not in &lt;stdexcept&gt;, thrown by the implementation
// instead of the user
std::bad_exception e;
realname = abi::__cxa_demangle(e.what(), 0, 0, &amp;status);
std::cout &lt;&lt; e.what() &lt;&lt; "\t=&gt; " &lt;&lt; realname &lt;&lt; "\t: " &lt;&lt; status &lt;&lt; '\n';
free(realname);
// typeid
bar&lt;empty,17&gt; u;
const std::type_info &amp;ti = typeid(u);
realname = abi::__cxa_demangle(ti.name(), 0, 0, &amp;status);
std::cout &lt;&lt; ti.name() &lt;&lt; "\t=&gt; " &lt;&lt; realname &lt;&lt; "\t: " &lt;&lt; status &lt;&lt; '\n';
free(realname);
return 0;
}
</pre><p>
This prints
</p><pre class="screen">
<code class="computeroutput">
St13bad_exception =&gt; std::bad_exception : 0
3barI5emptyLi17EE =&gt; bar&lt;empty, 17&gt; : 0
</code>
</pre><p>
The demangler interface is described in the source documentation
linked to above. It is actually written in C, so you don't need to
be writing C++ in order to demangle C++. (That also means we have to
use crummy memory management facilities, so don't forget to free()
the returned char array.)
