Ok I see. Is it better that the std::bad_exception part of the example is removed?
c++filt doesn't demangle St13bad_exception either.

ok
I noticed in libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/cxxabi.h
* @note The same demangling functionality is available via
* libiberty (@c <libiberty/demangle.h> and @c libiberty.a) in GCC
* 3.1 and later, but that requires explicit installation (@c
* --enable-install-libiberty) and uses a different API, although
* the ABI is unchanged.
This refers to GCC 3.1 from 2002, is it safe enough to now remove that GCC 3.1 comment?
