Here's a simple python program that generates a mangled string with size n:
def gen(n):
prefix = '_Z0'
suffix = 'Mm0'
content = 'M0' * (n-6)
return prefix + content + suffix
lldb's FastDemangler exhibit quadratic behavior when demangling such a string.
On my laptop (2015 Thinkpad t440p Arch Linux), setting n to ~20000 will cause a
noticable slowdown, and ~50000 would just segfault the program.
The same inputs are rejected instantly by itaniumDemangle() as well as c++filt.
