Speed up GDB startup time by not demangling partial symbols.
* symfile.h (ADD_PSYMBOL_VT_TO_LIST), symfile.c (add_psymbol_to_list, add_psymbol_addr_to_list): No longer demangle partial symbols. * symtab.c (lookup_symbol, list_symbols): Handle mangled variables, e.g. C++ static members, via the minimal symbols. Handle reordered functions in an objfile, for Irix 5.2 shared libraries. * objfiles.h (OBJF_REORDERED): New bit in the objfile flags, set if the functions in an objfile are reordered. * mdebugread.c (parse_partial_symbols): Detect reordered functions in an objfile. * symtab.c (find_pc_psymtab, find_pc_symtab): Use expensive lookup algorithm if the functions in the objfile are reordered. * xcoffexec.c (exec_close): If the current target has a copy of the exec_ops sections, reflect the freeing of the sections in current_target. * valops.c (call_function_by_hand): Use `sizeof dummy1', not `sizeof dummy', for constructing the call dummy code. * config/sparc/tm-sparc.h: Add PARAMS declarations to all function declarations. * sparc-tdep.c (sparc_pop_frame): Cast result of read_memory_integer to CORE_ADDR when passing it to PC_ADJUST. * irix5-nat.c (enable_break): Set breakpoint at the entry point of the executable, to handle the case where main resides in a shared library. * irix5-nat.c (solib_create_inferior_hook): Reset stop_soon_quietly after shared library symbol reading, to get rid of a warning from heuristic_proc_start if the startup code has no symbolic debug info. * breakpoint.h (struct breakpoint): Add new fields language and input_radix, to enable breakpoint resetting with the proper language and radix. * breakpoint.c (set_raw_breakpoint): Initialize them. (breakpoint_re_set_one): Use them when resetting the breakpoint. (breakpoint_re_set): Preserve current language and input_radix across breakpoint_re_set_one calls. * symtab.c (decode_line_1): Do not build a canonical line specification for `*expr' line specifications. * breakpoint.h (bpstat_stop_status): Fix prototype declaration.

DESCRIPTION
- Both the SunOS and the SVR4 dynamic linkers have, as part of their
- debugger interface, support for arranging for the inferior to hit
- a breakpoint after mapping in the shared libraries. This function
- enables that breakpoint.
-
- For SunOS, there is a special flag location (in_debugger) which we
- set to 1. When the dynamic linker sees this flag set, it will set
- a breakpoint at a location known only to itself, after saving the
- original contents of that place and the breakpoint address itself,
- in it's own internal structures. When we resume the inferior, it
- will eventually take a SIGTRAP when it runs into the breakpoint.
- We handle this (in a different place) by restoring the contents of
- the breakpointed location (which is only known after it stops),
- chasing around to locate the shared libraries that have been
- loaded, then resuming.
-
- For SVR4, the debugger interface structure contains a member (r_brk)
- which is statically initialized at the time the shared library is
- built, to the offset of a function (_r_debug_state) which is guaran-
- teed to be called once before mapping in a library, and again when
- the mapping is complete. At the time we are examining this member,
- it contains only the unrelocated offset of the function, so we have
- to do our own relocation. Later, when the dynamic linker actually
- runs, it relocates r_brk to be the actual address of _r_debug_state().
-
- The debugger interface structure also contains an enumeration which
- is set to either RT_ADD or RT_DELETE prior to changing the mapping,
- depending upon whether or not the library is being mapped or unmapped,
- and then set to RT_CONSISTENT after the library is mapped/unmapped.
-
- Irix 5, on the other hand, has no such features. Instead, we
- set a breakpoint at main.
+ This functions inserts a breakpoint at the entry point of the
+ main executable, where all shared libraries are mapped in.
