From ba715d7fe49c8a59660fbd571b935b29eb7cfbdb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kratochvil Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 08:26:26 +0100 Subject: Accelerate lookup_symbol_aux_objfile 85x During debugging I get 10-30 seconds for a response to simple commands like: (gdb) print vectorvar.size() With this patch the performance gets to 1-2 seconds which is somehow acceptable. The problem is that dwarf2_gdb_index_functions.lookup_symbol (quick_symbol_functions::lookup_symbol) may return (and returns) NULL even for symbols which are present in .gdb_index but which can be found in already expanded symtab. But searching in the already expanded symtabs is just too slow when there are 400000+ expanded symtabs. There would be needed some single global hash table for each objfile so that one does not have to iterate all symtabs. Which .gdb_index could perfectly serve for, just its lookup_symbol() would need to return authoritative yes/no answers. Even after such fix these two simple patches are useful for example for non-.gdb_index files. One can reproduce the slugging interactive GDB performance with: #include using namespace std; string var; class C { public: void m() {} }; int main() { C c; c.m(); return 0; } g++ -o slow slow.C -Wall -g $(pkg-config --libs gtkmm-3.0) gdb ./slow -ex 'b C::m' -ex 'maintenance set per-command space' -ex 'maintenance set per-command symtab' -ex 'maintenance set per-command time' -ex r [...] (gdb) p Display all 183904 possibilities? (y or n) n (gdb) p/r var $1 = {static npos = , _M_dataplus = {> = {<__gnu_cxx::new_allocator> = {}, }, _M_p = 0x3a4db073d8 ""}} Command execution time: 20.023000 (cpu), 20.118665 (wall) ^^^^^^^^^ Space used: 927997952 (+0 for this command) Without DWZ there are X global blocks for X primary symtabs for X CUs of objfile. With DWZ there are X+Y global blocks for X+Y primary symtabs for X+Y CUs where Y are 'DW_TAG_partial_unit's. For 'DW_TAG_partial_unit's (Ys) their blockvector is usually empty. But not always, I have found there typedef symbols, there can IMO be optimized-out static variables etc. Neither of the patches should cause any visible behavior change. gdb/ChangeLog 2014-12-04 Jan Kratochvil * block.c (block_lookup_symbol_primary): New function. * block.h (block_lookup_symbol_primary): New declaration. * symtab.c (lookup_symbol_in_objfile_symtabs): Assert BLOCK_INDEX.
