================
Comment at: libcxxabi/src/cxa_default_handlers.cpp:64-65
                     static_cast<const __shim_type_info*>(exception_header->exceptionType);
-#if !defined(LIBCXXABI_NON_DEMANGLING_TERMINATE)
-                // Try to get demangled name of thrown_type
-                int status;
                 char buf[1024];
-                size_t len = sizeof(buf);
-                const char* name = __cxa_demangle(thrown_type->name(), buf, &len, &status);
-                if (status != 0)
-                    name = thrown_type->name();
-#else
-                const char* name = thrown_type->name();
-#endif
+                char const* name = demangle(thrown_type->name(), buf);
                 // If the uncaught exception can be caught with std::exception&
----------------
This isn't code you're changing the meaning of, but this is broken.  the buffer passed to __cxa_demangle must come from malloc.  If ever a thrown type demangles to more than 1024 chars, people are going to be sad.
