It demangles Itanium and Visual Studio C++ symbols and also handles D, Rust, and Swift symbols. ### Project history The official repository was created in December 2016 and presents demumble as a pragmatic answer to day-to-day symbol decoding pain. Its README focuses on small but important behavior differences: underscore handling across macOS and Linux, stdin filtering that avoids demangling ordinary words, and Windows-style symbol support outside Windows. The project has stayed intentionally compact. Its build instructions are just CMake plus Ninja, and its release page provides prebuilt x64 binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows. ### Adoption history demumble's adoption is niche but recognizable among developers who read linker output, compiler IR, crash logs, or binary symbols across platforms. Homebrew and openSUSE packaging reflect that it is useful enough as a standalone CLI even though it is not a large framework. The GitHub release feed shows maintenance through v1.3.0 in August 2024, with releases spanning several years rather than rapid churn. ### How it is used The simplest use is to pass a mangled symbol and receive a demangled function signature. demumble can also run as a filter on standard input, which makes it useful in shell pipelines over logs, objdump output, LLVM IR, or compiler diagnostics. The README's examples emphasize cross-platform convenience: the same binary can demangle Itanium ABI names and Microsoft Visual C++ names, reducing the need to remember which platform-specific demangler applies. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, demumble is the kind of tiny diagnostic utility that earns a formula because it removes friction from debugging native builds. It is not infrastructure, but it makes opaque package failures easier to read. It also illustrates a common package-manager pattern: a small upstream tool with prebuilt releases becomes more valuable when installed uniformly through brew or distribution packages. ### Timeline - 2016: The demumble repository is created on GitHub. - 2019: The v1.2 release line is published. - 2020: demumble v1.2.2 is released. - 2024: demumble v1.3.0 is released. ### Related projects - c++filt is the traditional Unix comparison point for Itanium C++ demangling. - undname.exe is the Windows comparison point for Microsoft Visual C++ symbols. - LLVM and compiler toolchains generate the kinds of symbols demumble is commonly used to inspect. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** demumble - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - zypper - demumble - 1.3.0-1.3: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: demumble from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | A better c++filt and a better undname.exe, in one binary | https://github.com/nico/demumble ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cdebug](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cdebug/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, debugging, developer-tools. - [chdig](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chdig/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, debugging, developer-tools. - [crash](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/crash/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, debugging, developer-tools. - [ddd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ddd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, debugging, developer-tools. - [delve](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/delve/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, debugging, developer-tools. - [dmalloc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dmalloc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, debugging, developer-tools. - [docker-debug](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/docker-debug/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, debugging, developer-tools. - [dwarfutils](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dwarfutils/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, debugging, developer-tools. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
