Others can probably give a more detailed response, but...
There’s a Swift demangler in Swift’s “Basic” library (lib/Basic/Demangle.cpp),
along with a standalone tool (swift-demangle) you can experiment with. The
information in the mangled name should be complete enough to call, but you’ll
need to match Swift’s calling convention.
If it’s just a specific set of Swift functions you want to call from C, you can
use the @_silgen_name attribute to override the mangled name, and/or make them
@convention(c) to use the C calling convention.
