Hello,

I have a function that looks at identifiers of formal parameters. I
found that when I ran this function on larger projects, the compiler
segfaulted. I looked into this and I found that there are some formal
parameters which have NULL in their DECL_NAME and that triggered a
NULL dereference.

I also noticed that these parameters when printed with
dump_function_to_file were displayed using their DECL_UIDs. Digging a
little bit deeper, the function responsible for printing parameters
names is dump_decl_name. However, I am interested not in printing the
names but having them as strings.

I noticed that dump_decl_name takes a pretty_printer argument. Is it
possible to somehow pass a pretty_printer and get the string instead
of printing it?

Thanks!

You can look at its buffer I think.
