This + convention is unusual, but it allows callers to accurately specify + ranges that abut the top of the address space, and ranges that + cover the entire address space. + + This operation seems a bit complicated for a primitive: if it's + needed, why not just have a simpler primitive operation that sets a + range to a value, wiping out whatever was there before, and then + let the caller construct more complicated operations from that, + along with some others for traversal? + + It turns out this is the mutation operation we want to use all the + time, at least for now. Our immediate use for address maps is to + represent lexical blocks whose address ranges are not contiguous. + We walk the tree of lexical blocks present in the debug info, and + only create 'struct block' objects after we've traversed all a + block's children. If a lexical block declares no local variables + (and isn't the lexical block for a function's body), we omit it + from GDB's data structures entirely. + + However, this menas that we don't decide to create a block (and + thus record it in the address map) until after we've traversed its + children. If we do decide to create the block, we do so at a time + when all its children have already been recorded in the map. So + this operation --- change only those addresses left unset --- is + actually the operation we want to use every time. + + It seems simpler to let the code which operates on the + representation directly deal with the hair of implementing these + semantics than to provide an interface which allows it to be + implemented efficiently, but doesn't reveal too much of the + representation. */ +void addrmap_set_empty (struct addrmap *map, + CORE_ADDR start, CORE_ADDR end_inclusive, + void *obj); + +/* Return the object associated with ADDR in MAP. */ +void *addrmap_find (struct addrmap *map, CORE_ADDR addr); + +/* Create a fixed address map which is a copy of the mutable address + map ORIGINAL.
