remove msymbol_objfile
This is another patch in my ongoing series to "split" objfile to share more read-only data across inferiors. See http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ObjfileSplitting When symbols are finally shared, there will be no back-link from the symbol to its containing objfile, because there may be more than one such objfile. So, all such back-links must be removed. One hidden back-link is the msymbol_objfile function. Since (eventually) a symbol may appear in more than one objfile, trying to look up the objfile given just a symbol cannot work. This patch removes msymbol_objfile in favor of using a bound minimal symbol. It introduces a new function to make this conversion simpler in some spots. The bonus of this patch is that using msymbol_objfile is slower than simply looking up the owning objfile in the first place. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 18. * ada-exp.y (write_var_or_type): Use bound_minimal_symbol. * ada-lang.c (ada_lookup_simple_minsym): Return bound_minimal_symbol. * ada-lang.h (ada_lookup_simple_minsym): Update. * c-exp.y (variable): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol. * f-exp.y (variable): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol. * go-exp.y (variable): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol. * jv-exp.y (push_expression_name): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol. * m2-exp.y (variable): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol. * minsyms.c (msymbol_objfile): Remove. (lookup_minimal_symbol_internal): New function, from lookup_minimal_symbol. (lookup_minimal_symbol): Rewrite using lookup_minimal_symbol_internal. (lookup_bound_minimal_symbol): New function. * minsyms.h (msymbol_objfile): Remove. (lookup_bound_minimal_symbol): Declare. * p-exp.y (variable): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol. * parse.c (write_exp_msymbol): Change parameter to a bound_minimal_symbol. (write_dollar_variable): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol. * parser-defs.h (write_exp_msymbol): Update. * printcmd.c (address_info): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol. * symfile.c (simple_read_overlay_table): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol. * symtab.c (skip_prologue_sal): Don't use msymbol_objfile. (search_symbols): Likewise. (print_msymbol_info): Take a bound_minimal_symbol argument. (symtab_symbol_info, rbreak_command): Update. * symtab.h (struct symbol_search) <msymbol>: Change type to bound_minimal_symbol. * valops.c (find_function_in_inferior): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol. * value.c (value_fn_field): Use lookup_bound_minimal_symbol.
