Minimal symbol tables are used to hold some very basic information about all defined global symbols (text, data, bss, abs, etc). The only two required pieces of information are the symbol's name and the address associated with that symbol. In many cases, even if a file was compiled with no special options for debugging at all, as long as was not stripped it will contain sufficient information to build useful minimal symbol tables using this structure. Even when a file contains enough debugging information to build a full symbol table, these minimal symbols are still useful for quickly mapping between names and addresses, and vice versa. They are also sometimes used to figure out what full symbol table entries need to be read in. */ #include "defs.h" #include "symtab.h" #include "bfd.h" #include "symfile.h" #include "objfiles.h" #include "demangle.h" /* Accumulate the minimal symbols for each objfile in bunches of BUNCH_SIZE.

Return the number of entries remaining. On entry, the table resides between msymbol[0] and msymbol[mcount]. On exit, it resides between msymbol[0] and msymbol[result_count]. When files contain multiple sources of symbol information, it is possible for the minimal symbol table to contain many duplicate entries. As an example, SVR4 systems use ELF formatted object files, which usually contain at least two different types of symbol tables (a standard ELF one and a smaller dynamic linking table), as well as DWARF debugging information for files compiled with -g. Without compacting, the minimal symbol table for gdb itself contains over a 1000 duplicates, about a third of the total table size. Aside from the potential trap of not noticing that two successive entries identify the same location, this duplication impacts the time required to linearly scan the table, which is done in a number of places. So we just do one linear scan here and toss out the duplicates. Note that we are not concerned here about recovering the space that is potentially freed up, because the strings themselves are allocated on the symbol_obstack, and will get automatically freed when the symbol table is freed. The caller can free up the unused minimal symbols at the end of the compacted region if their allocation strategy allows it. Also note we only go up to the next to last entry within the loop and then copy the last entry explicitly after the loop terminates. Since the different sources of information for each symbol may have different levels of "completeness", we may have duplicates that have one entry with type "mst_unknown" and the other with a known type. So if the one we are leaving alone has type mst_unknown, overwrite its type with the type from the one we are compacting out. */ static int compact_minimal_symbols (msymbol, mcount) struct minimal_symbol *msymbol; int mcount; { struct minimal_symbol *copyfrom; struct minimal_symbol *copyto; if (mcount > 0) { copyfrom = copyto = msymbol; while (copyfrom < msymbol + mcount - 1) { if (SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS (copyfrom) == SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS ((copyfrom + 1)) && (STREQ (SYMBOL_NAME (copyfrom), SYMBOL_NAME ((copyfrom + 1))))) { if (MSYMBOL_TYPE((copyfrom + 1)) == mst_unknown) { MSYMBOL_TYPE ((copyfrom + 1)) = MSYMBOL_TYPE (copyfrom); } copyfrom++; } else { *copyto++ = *copyfrom++; } } *copyto++ = *copyfrom++; mcount = copyto - msymbol; } return (mcount); } /* Add the minimal symbols in the existing bunches to the objfile's official minimal symbol table.

Because of the way minimal symbols are collected, we generally have no way of knowing what source language applies to any particular minimal symbol. Specifically, we have no way of knowing if the minimal symbol comes from a C++ compilation unit or not. So for the sake of supporting cached demangled C++ names, we have no choice but to try and demangle each new one that comes in. If the demangling succeeds, then we assume it is a C++ symbol and set the symbol's language and demangled name fields appropriately. Note that in order to avoid unnecessary demanglings, and allocating obstack space that subsequently can't be freed for the demangled names, we mark all newly added symbols with language_auto. After compaction of the minimal symbols, we go back and scan the entire minimal symbol table looking for these new symbols. For each new symbol we attempt to demangle it, and if successful, record it as a language_cplus symbol and cache the demangled form on the symbol obstack.
