char[] demangle(const(char)[] buf, char[] dst = null);
Demangles D mangled names. If it is not a D mangled name, it returns its argument name.
Parameters:
const(char)[] buf The string to demangle.
char[] dst An optional destination buffer.
Returns:
The demangled name or the original string if the name is not a mangled D name.
char[] demangleType(const(char)[] buf, char[] dst = null);
Demangles a D mangled type.
Parameters:
const(char)[] buf The string to demangle.
char[] dst An optional destination buffer.
Returns:
The demangled type name or the original string if the name is not a mangled D type.
pure nothrow @safe char[] mangle(T)(const(char)[] fqn, char[] dst = null);
Mangles a D symbol.
Parameters:
T The type of the symbol.
const(char)[] fqn The fully qualified name of the symbol.
char[] dst An optional destination buffer.
Returns:
The mangled name for a symbols of type T and the given fully qualified name.
Examples: 
assert(mangle!int("a.b") == "_D1a1bi");
assert(mangle!(char[])("test.foo") == "_D4test3fooAa");
assert(mangle!(int function(int))("a.b") == "_D1a1bPFiZi");
pure nothrow @safe char[] mangleFunc(T : FT*, FT)(const(char)[] fqn, char[] dst = null)
if (is(FT == function));
Mangles a D function.
Parameters:
T function pointer type.
const(char)[] fqn The fully qualified name of the symbol.
char[] dst An optional destination buffer.
Returns:
The mangled name for a function with function pointer type T and the given fully qualified name.
Examples: 
assert(mangleFunc!(int function(int))("a.b") == "_D1a1bFiZi");
assert(mangleFunc!(int function(Object))("object.Object.opEquals") == "_D6object6Object8opEqualsFC6ObjectZi");
enum string cPrefix;
C name mangling is done by adding a prefix on some platforms.
