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

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

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

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