  To: gdb-patches; +Cc: Christian Biesinger

This is essentially the inverse of Symbol.objfile. This allows
handling different symbols with the same name (but from different
objfiles) and can also be faster if the objfile is known.

gdb/ChangeLog:

2019-06-25  Christian Biesinger  <cbiesinger@google.com>

	* NEWS: Mention new function Objfile.lookup_global_symbol.
	* compile/compile-object-load.c (compile_object_load): Pass GLOBAL_SCOPE.
	* python/py-objfile.c (objfpy_lookup_global_symbol): New function
    Objfile.lookup_global_symbol.
	* solib-spu.c (spu_lookup_lib_symbol): Pass GLOBAL_SCOPE.
	* solib-svr4.c (elf_lookup_lib_symbol): Pass GLOBAL_SCOPE.
	* symtab.c (lookup_global_symbol_from_objfile): Add a scope parameter.
	* symtab.h: Add a scope parameter to lookup_global_symbol_from_objfile.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

2019-06-25  Christian Biesinger  <cbiesinger@google.com>

	* python.texi: Document new function Objfile.lookup_global_symbol.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

2019-06-25  Christian Biesinger  <cbiesinger@google.com>

	* gdb.python/py-objfile.c: Add global and static vars.
	* gdb.python/py-objfile.exp: Test new function Objfile.
    lookup_global_symbol.
