[rfa/dwarf/doc] Inter-compilation-unit reference support for partial DIEs

Tue Apr 20 17:09:00 GMT 2004
Here we go. This patch is enough to load binaries which use
inter-compilation-unit references, as long as you don't do anything which
would cause full symbol tables to be generated - of course, that's not
especially useful!
Here's how it works. First, when we read in the abbrevs for each
compilation unit, we check whether there are any attributes which might
indicate inter-cu references. If they are, we set a flag, and we build a
tree of dwarf2_per_cu_data structures, which describe a minimal amount of
information about every compilation unit in the objfile. If we see a
reference, we look up the containing compilation unit in the tree.
This lets us find the start offset of the needed compilation unit. We load
it, and store a pointer to it in the tree.
When we're finished processing a compilation unit, we age everything in the
cache, and free things which have exceeded the user-settable cache age
limit - it's a limit on how many compilation units can be processed in a row
that do not mention a particular cached item. The default (5) is a
reasonable tradeoff between speed and memory use; it's a factor of six
faster than disabling caching, and a factor of twenty less memory usage than
never releasing cached items, in some crude testing.
The machinery used to age the cache probably looks a little overcomplicated;
in particular, there's no need for dwarf2_mark in this patch. That's
because a partial symbol table won't have dependencies on other partial
symbol tables, given the way we currently support references in partial
DIEs - more specifically, because of the way we build partial symbol tables.
We only fetch name and flag information from references, so we can use a
referenced compilation unit before we've built a symbol table for it.
The machinery is necessary for full DIEs, because we can't use references to
a comp unit before we've built its symbol table. I maintain the invariant
that we load DIEs for all CUs which we are going to need in the processing
of a particular CU before we begin building any symbol tables, so we have to
track dependencies, and make sure things don't fall out of the cache
unexpectedly. I think there's another valid approach to this problem,
but it doesn't save much over this one, and it adds considerable complexity
to demand-(re-)load the extra CUs.
Dwarf changes OK? Doc changes OK? Comments/suggestions?

+Control the DWARF 2 compilation unit cache.
+
+In object files with inter-compilation-unit references, such as those
+produced by the GCC option @samp{-feliminate-dwarf2-dups}, the DWARF 2
+reader needs to frequently refer to previously read compilation units.
+This setting controls how long a compilation unit will remain in the cache
+if it is not referenced. Setting it to zero disables caching, which will
+slow down @value{GDBN} startup but reduce memory consumption.
