================
Comment at: llvm/lib/Demangle/Demangle.cpp:31
   std::string Result;
-  const char *S = MangledName.c_str();
+  std::string Copy = MangledName.str();
+  const char *S = Copy.data();

Sigh, include/llvm/Demangle/StringView.h has a comment

  9 // FIXME: Use std::string_view instead when we support C++17.                   

and is used throughout llvm/lib/Demangle/. This is potentially a large cleanup.  Let me start on that...
