[PATCH 31/41] perf symbols: Don't demangle parameters and such by default

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Aug 13 2014 - 18:53:28 EST


From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some C++ symbols have very long name and they make column length longer.
Most of them are about parameters including templates and we can ignore
such info most of time IMHO.

This patch passes DMGL_NO_OPTS by default when calling bfd_demangle().
One can still see full symbols with -v/--verbose option.

before:
JS_CallFunctionValue(JSContext*, JSObject*, JS::Value, unsigned int, JS::Value*, JS::Value*)

after:
JS_CallFunctionValue
