<li class="listitem">
              The user needs to post-process the demangled name (e.g. remove common

          and returns a pointer to a string with the demangled name, if succeeded,
          or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">nullptr</span></code> otherwise. The
          returned pointer must be passed to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">core</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">demangle_free</span></code>
          to reclaim resources. Note that on some platforms the pointer returned

          denoted by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">name</span></code>, so this
          string must be kept immutable for the whole life time of the returned pointer.
        </p>
<p>
          The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">core</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">scoped_demangled_name</span></code> class is a scope
          guard that automates the calls to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">core</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">demangle_alloc</span></code>
          (on its construction) and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">core</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">demangle_free</span></code>
          (on destruction). The string with the demangled name can be obtained with
          its <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">get</span></code> method. Note that
          this method may return <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">nullptr</span></code>
