[PATCH 7/9] Rewrite lookup_static_symbol to use gdbarch routine


Hi.

This patch rewrites lookup_static_symbol to use
gdbarch_iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order.

This function is currently implemented like this:
[This is before the function is renamed by this patch series.]

struct symbol *
lookup_static_symbol_aux (const char *name, const domain_enum domain)
{
  struct objfile *objfile;
  struct symbol *sym;

  sym = lookup_symbol_aux_symtabs (STATIC_BLOCK, name, domain);
  if (sym != NULL)
    return sym;

  ALL_OBJFILES (objfile)
  {
    sym = lookup_symbol_aux_quick (objfile, STATIC_BLOCK, name, domain);
    if (sym != NULL)
      return sym;
  }

  return NULL;
}

Note what we're doing here.
First we're searching over all expanded symtabs in all objfiles,
and then we search partial/gdb_index tables in all objfiles.  Eh?

Normally when looking up a symbol in a particular objfile
we first list in expanded symtabs and then look in partial/gdb_index
tables.  And *then* we try the next objfile.

I can't think of any justification for the current behaviour.

This patch changes things to be consistent,
but it is a behavioural change.
The testsuite passes, and any noticeable difference
by this change would be dependent on the order in which
symtabs got expanded.  Thus I can't think of a reason to not
apply this change.

Contrary to lookup_global_symbol where at least for linux one might
not care what order objfiles are searched, for static symbols there
is more reason to care.  However, the current API doesn't provide
for this (we don't pass in BLOCK of OBJFILE as an argument) because
this routine is used as a last resort anyways.

	* symtab.c (lookup_static_symbol): Rewrite to use
	gdbarch_iterate_over_objfiles_in_search_order.
	(iterated_sym_lookup_data): Renamed from global_sym_lookup_data.
	New member block_index.
	(lookup_symbol_iterator_cb): Renamed from
	lookup_symbol_global_iterator_cb.  Use block_index from
	iterated_sym_lookup_data.
	(lookup_symbol_global): Update.
	(lookup_symbol_aux_symtabs): Delete.
