Subject: [PATCH 05/10] Remove redundant nlist_bfd_global
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 12:11:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116-coffread-cleanups-v1-5-4d46090fad69@adacore.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260116-coffread-cleanups-v1-0-4d46090fad69@adacore.com>

coffread.c has two BFD globals: nlist_bfd_global and symfile_bfd.
There's no need for both, and since symfile_bfd is set early (in
coff_symfile_read, the entry point), this removes nlist_bfd_global and
replaces all the uses.
