22 /* This file contains support routines for creating, manipulating, and
23 destroying minimal symbol tables.
24
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.
29
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.
33
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. */

415
416 On entry, the table resides between msymbol[0] and msymbol[mcount].
417 On exit, it resides between msymbol[0] and msymbol[result_count].
418
419 When files contain multiple sources of symbol information, it is
420 possible for the minimal symbol table to contain many duplicate entries.
421 As an example, SVR4 systems use ELF formatted object files, which
422 usually contain at least two different types of symbol tables (a
423 standard ELF one and a smaller dynamic linking table), as well as
424 DWARF debugging information for files compiled with -g.
425
426 Without compacting, the minimal symbol table for gdb itself contains
427 over a 1000 duplicates, about a third of the total table size. Aside
428 from the potential trap of not noticing that two successive entries
429 identify the same location, this duplication impacts the time required
430 to linearly scan the table, which is done in a number of places. So we
431 just do one linear scan here and toss out the duplicates.
432
433 Note that we are not concerned here about recovering the space that
434 is potentially freed up, because the strings themselves are allocated
435 on the symbol_obstack, and will get automatically freed when the symbol
436 table is freed. The caller can free up the unused minimal symbols at
437 the end of the compacted region if their allocation strategy allows it.
438
439 Also note we only go up to the next to last entry within the loop
440 and then copy the last entry explicitly after the loop terminates.
441
442 Since the different sources of information for each symbol may
443 have different levels of "completeness", we may have duplicates
444 that have one entry with type "mst_unknown" and the other with a
445 known type. So if the one we are leaving alone has type mst_unknown,
446 overwrite its type with the type from the one we are compacting out. */

485 in a while (for shared libraries for example), we add symbols (e.g. common
486 symbols) to an existing objfile.
487
488 Because of the way minimal symbols are collected, we generally have no way
489 of knowing what source language applies to any particular minimal symbol.
490 Specifically, we have no way of knowing if the minimal symbol comes from a
491 C++ compilation unit or not. So for the sake of supporting cached
492 demangled C++ names, we have no choice but to try and demangle each new one
493 that comes in. If the demangling succeeds, then we assume it is a C++
494 symbol and set the symbol's language and demangled name fields
495 appropriately. Note that in order to avoid unnecessary demanglings, and
496 allocating obstack space that subsequently can't be freed for the demangled
497 names, we mark all newly added symbols with language_auto. After
498 compaction of the minimal symbols, we go back and scan the entire minimal
499 symbol table looking for these new symbols. For each new symbol we attempt
500 to demangle it, and if successful, record it as a language_cplus symbol
501 and cache the demangled form on the symbol obstack. Symbols which don't
502 demangle are marked as language_unknown symbols, which inhibits future
503 attempts to demangle them if we later add more minimal symbols. */
