Subject: [rfa] revert my previous search_symbols change, add comment
Date: Wed, 05 Feb 2003 00:24:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ro13cn3377d.fsf@jackfruit.Stanford.EDU> (raw)

In my patch from 2002-12-23, I changed some code in search_symbols
from a call to lookup_symbol to a call to lookup_symbol_aux_minsyms.
At that time, I didn't understand exactly what
lookup_symbol_aux_minsyms did; now that I understand that function
better, I don't think that change was a good idea.

So this patch reverts that change.  At Andrew's suggestion, I've added
a comment as well, saying what I'd really like to replace the call to
lookup_symbol with.

In my next patch, I'll change lookup_symbol_aux_minsyms to actually do
something correct (now that Daniel has been kind enough to demangle
partial symbols for me), but I wanted to get this part of the change
out of the way first.

Tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu/GCC3.1/DWARF-2; OK to apply?
