RE: [RFA] Enhance stabs reader to better deal with forward references

["Pierre Muller" <muller@ics.u-strasbg.fr>]

  I made the same change to my local repository,
due to the same problem, on the same target.

  The problem is that in the CVS tree, end_symtab function
is called from within the read_ofile_symtab function
after current_objfile is reset to nil.
  But due to your change, current_objfile is still 
accessed inside dbx_lookup_type (stabsread.c)
called by cleanup_undefined_types_noname (stabsread.c)
called by cleanup_undefined_types (stabsread.c)
called by end_symtab (buildsym.c).


Hope this helps,

Pierre

Thanks for the report, and sorry about that. Unfortunately, I won't have
much time in the next two or three days - I might be able to understand
what is actually from the backtrace and your patch, but it might not be
sufficient. And if you have an opportunity to investigate a bit more,
that would be very much appreciated.  In the meantime, feel free to back
the patch out if necessary.
