Speed up direct linking with DLLs on Windows (2/2).
This patch deals with the generation of the import library on the fly. The implementation is inefficient because the linker makes a lot of calls to realloc and memmove when importing the symbols in order to maintain a sorted list of symbols. This is fixable by relying on the fact that, for every linked DLL, the list of symbols it exports is already sorted so you can import them en masse once you have found the insertion point. ld/ * deffile.h (def_file_add_import_from): Declare. (def_file_add_import_at): Likewise. * deffilep.y (fill_in_import): New function extracted from... (def_file_add_import): ...here. Call it. (def_file_add_import_from): New function. (def_file_add_import_at): Likewise. * pe-dll.c (pe_implied_import_dll): Use an optimized version of the insertion loop for imported symbols if possible.
