From 8d7bcccb82d9a7efccd75d9552d007c62031e855 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Tromey Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 16:23:57 -0600 Subject: Move psymtabs to their own obstack Previously, the psymtab obstack was just a pointer to the objfile obstack. This patch changes psymtabs to use their own obstack, instead. A gdb::optional is used to avoid unnecessary allocation when the obstack is not needed. After this patch, the psymtab code lifetime model is that, in the core psymtab code, objects allocated on the psymtab obstack may point to other such objects, or to objects on the per-BFD obstack -- but never to the objfile obstack. Note however that this invariant is only obeyed the core psymtab code, and even there not quite fully: there is still a link from the psymtab to the full symtab. Symbol readers are free to work however they like; and in particular, even after this patch, in practice all symbol readers violate this invariant via the read_symtab_private field. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-01-10 Tom Tromey * objfiles.h (objfile::reset_psymtabs): Update. * objfiles.c (objfile::objfile): Update. * psymtab.h (psymtab_storage::obstack): Update.
