  25 /* An address map is essentially a table mapping CORE_ADDRs onto GDB
  26    data structures, like blocks, symtabs, partial symtabs, and so on.
  27    An address map uses memory proportional to the number of
  28    transitions in the map, where a CORE_ADDR N is mapped to one
  29    object, and N+1 is mapped to a different object.
  30
  31    Address maps come in two flavors: fixed, and mutable.  Mutable
  32    address maps consume more memory, but can be changed and extended.
  33    A fixed address map, once constructed (from a mutable address map),
  34    can't be edited.  Both kinds of map are allocated in obstacks.  */
  35
  36 /* The opaque type representing address maps.  */
  37 struct addrmap;
  38
  39 /* Create a mutable address map which maps every address to NULL.
  40    Allocate entries in OBSTACK.  */
  41 struct addrmap *addrmap_create_mutable (struct obstack *obstack);
  42
  43 /* In the mutable address map MAP, associate the addresses from START
  44    to END_INCLUSIVE that are currently associated with NULL with OBJ
  45    instead.  Addresses mapped to an object other than NULL are left
  46    unchanged.
  47
  48    As the name suggests, END_INCLUSIVE is also mapped to OBJ.  This
  49    convention is unusual, but it allows callers to accurately specify
  50    ranges that abut the top of the address space, and ranges that
  51    cover the entire address space.
  52
  53    This operation seems a bit complicated for a primitive: if it's
  54    needed, why not just have a simpler primitive operation that sets a
  55    range to a value, wiping out whatever was there before, and then
  56    let the caller construct more complicated operations from that,
  57    along with some others for traversal?
  58
  59    It turns out this is the mutation operation we want to use all the
  60    time, at least for now.  Our immediate use for address maps is to
  61    represent lexical blocks whose address ranges are not contiguous.
  62    We walk the tree of lexical blocks present in the debug info, and
  63    only create 'struct block' objects after we've traversed all a
  64    block's children.  If a lexical block declares no local variables
  65    (and isn't the lexical block for a function's body), we omit it
  66    from GDB's data structures entirely.
  67
  68    However, this means that we don't decide to create a block (and
  69    thus record it in the address map) until after we've traversed its
  70    children.  If we do decide to create the block, we do so at a time
  71    when all its children have already been recorded in the map.  So
  72    this operation --- change only those addresses left unset --- is
  73    actually the operation we want to use every time.
  74
  75    It seems simpler to let the code which operates on the
  76    representation directly deal with the hair of implementing these
  77    semantics than to provide an interface which allows it to be
  78    implemented efficiently, but doesn't reveal too much of the
  79    representation.  */
