* bcache.c, bcache.h: New files to implement a byte cache.
* Makefile.in (SFILES): Add bcache.c. (symtab_h): Add bcache.h. (HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): add bcache.h (COMMON_OBJS): Add bcache.o (bcache.o): New target. * dbxread.c (start_psymtab): Make global_syms & static_syms type "partial_symbol **". * hpread.c (hpread_start_symtab): Ditto. * os9kread.c (os9k_start_psymtab): Ditto. * stabsread.h (start_psymtab): Ditto. * {symfile.c, symfile.h} (start_psymtab_common): Ditto. * maint.c (maintenance_print_statistics): Call print_symbol_bcache_statistics. * objfiles.c (allocate_objfile): Initialize psymbol bcache malloc and free pointers. * solib.c (allocate_rt_common_objfile): Ditto. * symfile.c (reread_symbols): Ditto. (free_objfile): Free psymbol bcache when objfile is freed. (objfile_relocate): Use new indirect psymbol pointers. * objfiles.h (struct objfile): Add psymbol cache. * symfile.c (compare_psymbols): Now passed pointers to pointers to psymbols.

(init_psymbol_list): Psymbol lists now contain pointers rather than the actual psymbols. * symfile.h (psymbol_allocation_list): Psymbol lists now dynamically grown arrays of pointers. (ADD_PSYMBOL_VT_TO_LIST): Initialize new symbol using the psymbol bcache. * symmisc.c (print_partial_symbols): Now takes pointer to pointer to partial symbol. (print_symbol_bcache_statistics): New function to print per objfile bcache statistics. (print_partial_symbol, print_partial_symbols, maintenance_check_symtabs, extend_psymbol_list): Account for change to pointer to pointer to partial symbol. * symtab.c (find_pc_psymbol, lookup_partial_symbol, decode_line_2, make_symbol_completion_list): Account for change to pointer to pointer to partial symbol. * symtab.h (bcache.h): Include. * xcoffread.c (xcoff_start_psymtab): Make global_syms & static_syms type "partial_symbol **".

*** Changes since GDB-4.15:
+* Memory use reductions and statistics collection
+
+We have begun to implement changes that reduce gdb's memory requirements
+and to report statistics about memory usage. Try the "maint print statistics"
+command, for example.
+
* New native configurations
