lnp_state_machine::handle_special
where the divisions are the places we stall. The following
micro-optimizes things but it smells like m_line_header->line_range
is constant, likewise probably m_line_header->maximum_ops_per_instruction
so eventually the divisions could be avoided completely with some
lookup table.
Well. Micro-optimizing with the patch below improves things
(don't expect [load] CSE over the gdbarch_adjust_dwarf2_line call).
Care to pick up this one-time patch without myself becoming familiar
with gdb testing & patch submission?
Thanks,
Richard.
