22 /* This file contains support routines for creating, manipulating, and
23 destroying minimal symbol tables.
25 Minimal symbol tables are used to hold some very basic information about
26 all defined global symbols (text, data, bss, abs, etc). The only two
27 required pieces of information are the symbol's name and the address
28 associated with that symbol.
30 In many cases, even if a file was compiled with no special options for
31 debugging at all, as long as was not stripped it will contain sufficient
32 information to build useful minimal symbol tables using this structure.
34 Even when a file contains enough debugging information to build a full
35 symbol table, these minimal symbols are still useful for quickly mapping
36 between names and addresses, and vice versa. They are also sometimes used
37 to figure out what full symbol table entries need to be read in. */

147 It's also possible to have minimal symbols with different mangled
148 names, but identical demangled names. For example, the GNU C++ v3
149 ABI requires the generation of two (or perhaps three) copies of
150 constructor functions --- "in-charge", "not-in-charge", and
151 "allocate" copies; destructors may be duplicated as well.

784 On entry, the table resides between msymbol[0] and msymbol[mcount].
785 On exit, it resides between msymbol[0] and msymbol[result_count].
787 When files contain multiple sources of symbol information, it is
788 possible for the minimal symbol table to contain many duplicate entries.
789 As an example, SVR4 systems use ELF formatted object files, which
790 usually contain at least two different types of symbol tables (a
791 standard ELF one and a smaller dynamic linking table), as well as
792 DWARF debugging information for files compiled with -g.
794 Without compacting, the minimal symbol table for gdb itself contains
795 over a 1000 duplicates, about a third of the total table size. Aside
796 from the potential trap of not noticing that two successive entries
797 identify the same location, this duplication impacts the time required
798 to linearly scan the table, which is done in a number of places. So we
799 just do one linear scan here and toss out the duplicates.
801 Note that we are not concerned here about recovering the space that
802 is potentially freed up, because the strings themselves are allocated
803 on the objfile_obstack, and will get automatically freed when the symbol
804 table is freed. The caller can free up the unused minimal symbols at
805 the end of the compacted region if their allocation strategy allows it.
807 Also note we only go up to the next to last entry within the loop
808 and then copy the last entry explicitly after the loop terminates.
810 Since the different sources of information for each symbol may
811 have different levels of "completeness", we may have duplicates
812 that have one entry with type "mst_unknown" and the other with a
813 known type. So if the one we are leaving alone has type mst_unknown,
814 overwrite its type with the type from the one we are compacting out. */

884 symbols) to an existing objfile.
886 Because of the way minimal symbols are collected, we generally have no way
887 of knowing what source language applies to any particular minimal symbol.
888 Specifically, we have no way of knowing if the minimal symbol comes from a
889 C++ compilation unit or not. So for the sake of supporting cached
890 demangled C++ names, we have no choice but to try and demangle each new one
891 that comes in. If the demangling succeeds, then we assume it is a C++
892 symbol and set the symbol's language and demangled name fields
893 appropriately. Note that in order to avoid unnecessary demanglings, and
894 allocating obstack space that subsequently can't be freed for the demangled
895 names, we mark all newly added symbols with language_auto. After
896 compaction of the minimal symbols, we go back and scan the entire minimal
897 symbol table looking for these new symbols. For each new symbol we attempt
898 to demangle it, and if successful, record it as a language_cplus symbol
899 and cache the demangled form on the symbol obstack. Symbols which don't
900 demangle are marked as language_unknown symbols, which inhibits future
