That part is already committed. The libiberty test suite has 64 new
tests. The current demangler fails 31 of the new tests. I saw this in
my test bed and wrote it up. Check out the "Libiberty Testing" section
near the top of:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-testers/2003-q3/msg00003.html
To me, the issue of what languages are acceptable for implementing the
demangler is separate from the issue of how the new demangler behaves
versus the old demangler. I can say something about the second issue.
I see that the new demangler does perfectly on all the new tests in
libiberty, and I'm running gdb tests now. I'll have more info to report
in a couple of hours.
