# SwiftDemangler

This module provides support for demanling mangled [Swift](https://www.swift.org) symbols. Supported
mangled symbols begin with `$S`, `$s`, `_$S"`, `_$s`, or `_T`.

The demangler currently relies on making direct calls to the native Swift demangler tool, which
comes [bundled with Swift](https://www.swift.org/download/). For example:

```bash
% swift demangle --compact --expand _\$s7SwiftUI4ViewMp
Demangling for _$s7SwiftUI4ViewMp
kind=Global
  kind=ProtocolDescriptor
    kind=Type
      kind=Protocol
        kind=Module, text="SwiftUI"
        kind=Identifier, text="View"
protocol descriptor for SwiftUI.View
```

The resulting tree is parsed by the Ghidra Swift Demangler to form and apply a demangled symbol 
name.

By default, the `Demangler Swift` Analyzer will search for the native Swift Demangler on the `PATH`.
If it resides elsewhere, its path can be specified in the analyzer's options.
