[PATCH] Have partial symbol tables own psymbol vectors

Tom Tromey tom@tromey.com
Fri Aug 28 19:33:04 GMT 2020


Currently pointers to all partial symbols are stored in two vectors;
and then indices into these vectors are stored in each partial_symtab.

This patch changes this so that each partial symtab instead has
vectors of symbols.

My main motivation for doing this is that I am looking into calling
sort_pst_symbols in the background.  However, I haven't actually
implemented this yet.  (Also this may make it more feasible to also
sort the static psymbols, though I haven't tried that either.)

Also, though, this lets us remove the "current_global_psymbols"
vector, because now the callers can simply refer directly to the
psymtab that they are modifying (formerly this was implicit).

The main drawback of this patch is that it increases the size of
partial symtab.
