Implements C++ and Rust v0 demangling APIs. These were largely generated by Copilot, though I have lightly reviewed them. Extensive testing:

  • Basic testing against the specs.
  • 100% successful demangling of all symbols in libcoreclr.so (from .NET 10).
  • 100% successful demangling of all symbols from 500 randomly selected Ubuntu dbg packages.
  • 100% successful demangling of all symbols from 500 randomly selected Rust crates from crates.io.

Performance validation:

  • Created and ran benchmarks using BenchmarkDotNet.
  • Selected optimizations based on findings to improve CPU and memory efficiency.

Contributes to #2382.

Add ItaniumDemangler for demangling C++ symbols that follow the Itanium
C++ ABI mangling scheme (used by GCC, Clang, and other compilers on
Linux, macOS, and other non-Windows platforms).

Key features:
- Recursive descent parser handling the full Itanium ABI grammar
  including nested names, template args, expressions, function types,
  array types, pointer-to-member, decltype, and pack expansions.
- Substitution table with indexed lookup and dedup.
- GCC/LLVM linker suffix stripping (.cold, .isra, .constprop, etc.)
  and ELF symbol versioning (@glibc).
- ELF build-ID hash stripping (40-char SHA-1 or 32-char MD5) for
  symbols carrying metadata suffixes.
- ABI tag support (B<source-name>).
- C4/C5 constructor variants and Dp pack expansion types.
- Reusable instance-based Parser to minimize per-call allocations.
- Pre-sized StringBuilders and optimized string building throughout.
- Depth guard (256) to prevent StackOverflow on crafted input.

Includes 528 xUnit test cases covering operators, templates, nested
names, function types, special names, expressions, substitutions,
lambda expressions, ABI tags, pack expansions, and linker annotations.

Add RustDemangler for demangling Rust symbols using the v0 mangling
scheme (RFC 2603), identified by the _R prefix.

Key features:
- Recursive descent parser for the Rust v0 grammar including paths,
  types, const generics, closures, shims, and trait implementations.
- Backref resolution with cached Func delegates to avoid per-call
  delegate allocation.
- Base-62 number parsing for backrefs and disambiguators.
- Punycode support for Unicode identifiers.
- Basic type mapping, function signatures, dyn trait bounds, and
  higher-ranked lifetime binders.
- Reusable instance-based Parser with scratch StringBuilder for
  leaf-level formatting and pre-sized loop StringBuilders.
- Depth guard (200) to prevent StackOverflow on crafted input.

Includes 33 xUnit test cases covering basic types, generics, closures,
trait impls, const generics, backrefs, and edge cases.

Add TraceEventBenchmarks project with MemoryDiagnoser and EtwProfiler
for measuring CPU time and memory allocations of the Itanium C++ and
Rust v0 demanglers.

Benchmark classes:
- ItaniumDemanglerBenchmarks (Short/Medium/Long/All with 45,694 symbols)
- ItaniumDemanglerMetadataBenchmarks (49,349 symbols with ELF hashes)
- RustDemanglerBenchmarks (Short/Medium/Long/All with 11,239 symbols)

Infrastructure:
- BenchmarkInput.cs loads real-world symbols from inputs/ directory and
  provides curated representative symbols for micro-benchmarks.
- PublicSign with MSFT.snk (same pattern as TraceEvent.Tests) to
  satisfy InternalsVisibleTo without MicroBuild signing.
- BenchmarkDotNet 0.14.0 and BenchmarkDotNet.Diagnostics.Windows 0.14.0
  added to central package management.

I have a few questions/suggestions before marking approve:

Allocations: I do wonder how much we are allocating when demangling. There are several places where we could be using ReadOnlySpan back and forth instead of creating new strings. There seems to be quite a few substring calls, and similar. Ultimately though, you have to build a new string for the demangled name, and I'm not sure how much time/GC we'd save by trying to do less allocations.

You are using Benchmark.Net, can you check how much the DemangleAll tests allocate, and subtract the result of _allSymbols.Sum(r => demangler.Demangle(symbol).Length)? If it's a really high number, maybe consider having copilot rewrite some of these demangle methods to not allocate? (Mostly be using read only spans in helpers.)

If the number seems reasonable, then don't bother, of course.

AllSymbols Demangle Test: Would we catch regressions better by demangling all symbols in cpp_symbols.txt/rust_symbols.txt and comparing it against a pre-demangled version? IE run everything through the demangler now, store that result and assert it in one final "check-all" test. This does nothing for us now, but if you have to modify the demangler in the future, it will ensure we don't actually drift old functions. (Or that any drift is good and actually fixing real bugs.)

Or does the tests as the exist now fully cover the entirety of demangling, and this would just be overhead?

…arsing

- Replace string + operator concatenation with string.Concat() throughout
  both ItaniumDemangler and RustDemangler to eliminate intermediate string
  allocations.
- Change ItaniumDemangler to pass an end offset to the parser instead of
  allocating a Substring in StripLinkerAnnotations (renamed to
  ComputeLinkerAnnotationEnd).
- Add _endOffset field to Itanium Parser, matching the pattern already used
  by the Rust parser.
- Multi-target benchmark project for net462 and net8.0.
- Remove [EtwProfiler] attribute from benchmarks (requires admin elevation).

Replace 15 new StringBuilder(...) allocations in instance methods with
a reusable pool (AcquireSb/ReleaseSb). The pool holds 8 pre-allocated
StringBuilders and falls back to new allocations for deep recursion.

Make WrapModifier non-static so it can use the Parser's StringBuilder
pool instead of allocating new StringBuilders on every pointer/reference
type wrapping operation.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Add StringBuilder pool (AcquireSb/ReleaseSb) to the Rust demangler
parser, replacing new StringBuilder allocations in ParsePath (generic
args), ParseType (tuples), ParseFnSig, ParseDynBounds, and
ParseDynTrait.

Thank you for the review @leculver.

Regarding allocations - I did a bunch of optimization in the allocation space before originally creating the PR. I had originally looked at potentially using ReadOnlySpan, but it turns out that the bulk of the allocation is in materializing the strings for the demangled symbol and not in reading/parsing the mangled name. That said, I did send copilot off to push further on this using the benchmarks, and it made some improvements using pooled StringBuilder instances, since that's where the bulk of the allocation happens. Here's the before/after findings:

DemangleAll — Full Corpus

The DemangleAll benchmarks demangle every symbol in the test corpus and are the most
representative measure of real-world impact.

Demangler Runtime Alloc Before Alloc After Alloc Reduction Mean Before Mean After Speedup
Itanium .NET 8.0 93.8 MB 54.9 MB 41% 43.0 ms 35.0 ms 19%
Itanium .NET Framework 4.6.2 100.7 MB 58.2 MB 42% 73.7 ms 64.6 ms 12%
Itanium + Metadata .NET 8.0 110.5 MB 61.1 MB 45% 57.6 ms 47.2 ms 18%
Itanium + Metadata .NET Framework 4.6.2 118.4 MB 64.7 MB 45% 91.5 ms 80.4 ms 12%
Rust .NET 8.0 34.7 MB 24.0 MB 31% 17.5 ms 15.6 ms 11%
Rust .NET Framework 4.6.2 34.1 MB 25.5 MB 25% 27.5 ms 25.8 ms 6%

Per-Symbol Benchmarks — .NET 8.0

These benchmarks demangle a single symbol and show the allocation impact at different
symbol complexity levels.

Itanium Short 288 B 72 B 75% 83 ns 72 ns
Itanium Medium 1,048 B 472 B 55% 471 ns 342 ns

Rust Short 120 B 120 B 0% 86 ns 86 ns
Rust Medium 1,400 B 1,088 B 22% 642 ns 592 ns
Rust Long 227 KB 121 KB 47% 54 μs 43 μs

Regarding the tests - The txt files are just input to the benchmarks and not to any correctness tests. My goal was to have enough variation of mangling to get a reasonable read on performance, rather than just hitting the simple or complex cases. From a correctness perspective, the existing test cases are reasonably good, but I asked copilot to do a comparison between what we have in the functional test space and what exists in the allsymbols benchmark, and so it identified another 42 test cases to add.

All of these changes should now be pushed in separate commits so that you can see them without looking at the entire change.

## Native and R2R Symbol Download and Parsing Now Available
As of this release, if you capture a trace using [`dotnet-trace
collect-linux`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/diagnostics/dotnet-trace#dotnet-trace-collect-linux)
or
[`record-trace`](https://github.com/microsoft/one-collect/tree/main/record-trace),
**native and R2R symbols can now be downloaded and resolved at analysis
time**. All .NET symbols (both native and R2R) are available on the
Microsoft Symbol Server. Additionally, many Azure Linux symbol files are
available on the Microsoft Symbol Server. For those targeting other
distros, PerfView and TraceEvent are capable of pulling those symbol
files from local directories by adding a local symbol path pointing to
the files.

Most of the work for this was completed in PerfView and TraceEvent 3.2.1
with the final required fixes present in this release.
