move minimal symbols to per-bfd
Now that minimal symbols are independent of the program space, we can move them to the per-BFD object. This lets us save memory in the multi-inferior case; and, once the symbol readers are updated, time. The other prerequisite for this move is that all the objects referred to by the minimal symbols have a lifetime at least as long as the per-BFD object. I think this is satisfied partially by this patch (moving the copied names there) and partially by earlier patches moving the demangled name hash. This patch contains a bit of logic to avoid creating new minimal symbols if they have already been read for a given BFD. This allows us to avoid trying to update all the symbol readers for this condition. At first glance this may seem like a hack, but some symbol readers mix psym and minsym reading, and would require logic just like this regardless -- and it is simpler and less error-prone to just do the work in a central spot. 2014-02-26 Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com> * minsyms.c (lookup_minimal_symbol, iterate_over_minimal_symbols) (lookup_minimal_symbol_text, lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_name) (lookup_minimal_symbol_solib_trampoline) (lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section_1) (lookup_minimal_symbol_and_objfile): Update. (prim_record_minimal_symbol_full): Use the per-BFD obstack. Don't allocate a minimal symbol if minsyms have already been read. (build_minimal_symbol_hash_tables): Update. (install_minimal_symbols): Do nothing if minsyms already read. Use the per-BFD obstack. (terminate_minimal_symbol_table): Use the per-BFD obstack. * objfiles.c (allocate_objfile): Call terminate_minimal_symbol_table later. (have_minimal_symbols): Update. * objfiles.h (struct objfile_per_bfd_storage) <msymbols, minimal_symbol_count, msymbol_hash, msymbol_demangled_hash>: Move from struct objfile. <minsyms_read>: New field. (struct objfile) <msymbols, minimal_symbol_count, msymbol_hash, msymbol_demangled_hash>: Move. (ALL_OBJFILE_MSYMBOLS): Update. * symfile.c (read_symbols): Set minsyms_read. (reread_symbols): Update. * symmisc.c (dump_objfile, dump_msymbols): Update.
