The cplus_demangle call is mt-safe, guarded by a mutex at the outer level.
There is no external state, so I don't see how asynchronous signals could cause
a problem.

Since the code uses a mutex, it cannot be async signal safe.
A program that calls cplus_demangle in both normal and
signal context can deadlock if a thread calling cplus_demangle
receives a signal (either sync or async) and then attempts
to call cplus_demangle from the signal handler; the mutex
is already held by the locking thread.
