Subject: [RFA 2/2] Simplify the psymbol hash function
Date: Sat, 04 Nov 2017 16:14:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171104161356.17565-3-tom@tromey.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171104161356.17565-1-tom@tromey.com>

This patch simplifies the psymbol_hash function, by changing it not to
examine the contents of the symbol's name.  This change just mirrors
what psymbol_compare already does -- it is checking for name equality,
which is presumably ok because symbol names are generally interned.

This change speeds up psymbol reading.  "gdb -nx -batch gdb"
previously took ~1.8 seconds on my machine, and with this patch it now
takes ~1.7 seconds.
