Description

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but here's an example of a symbol I can't seem to demangle:

__ZN3pco25latent_batch_decompressor32LatentBatchDecompressor$LT$U$GT$18decompress_offsets17h254da28dd89d69cbE

I just get this back:

__ZN3pco25latent_batch_decompressor32LatentBatchDecompressordecompress_offsets17h254da28dd89d69cbE

I know this function was compiled with a const generic, and I'd like to know what the value of that generic was. I produced this symbol by running cargo build --release -- --emit=asm and reading the .s file.

target: darwin aarch64
version: 0.1.23

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the provided symbol using rustc-demangle 0.1.23 on the stated Darwin AArch64 target, starting from the demangle entry point and the emitted assembly example. Check how const-generic markers are parsed and rendered; done means the demangled output preserves the const-generic value without dropping symbol components.
