Bug 10393 – demangle doesn't work for unicode symbol names

currently std.demangle.demangle doesn't work with unicode (see example below) If we decide to keep allowing unicode symbols (as opposed to just unicode strings/comments), we must address this issue. Will supporting this negatively impact performance (of both compile time and runtime) ? ---- struct A{ int z; void foo(int x){} void さいごの果実(int x){} void ªå(int x){} } mangledName!(A.さいごの果実).demangle.writeln;=>_D4util13demangle_funs1A18さいごの果実MFiZv ----

Please fix demangle rather than deprecate non-ASCII identifiers!

Can't reproduce problem in dmd git HEAD. Has this been fixed, or am I misunderstanding something? Full program tested: ------ import std.demangle; import std.stdio; import std.traits; struct A { int z; void foo(int x){} void さいごの果実(int x){} void ªå(int x){} } void main() { mangledName!(A.さいごの果実).demangle.writeln; } ------ Output: ------ void test.A.さいごの果実(int) ------

seems correct to me too. With OMF there is an issue when symbols are compressed, because these interfere with UTF8, but that's not a problem of the demangler.
