Hi.
I'm tempted to just commit this patch, but in case anyone wants to
comment ...
clear_symtab_users is in need of a bit of cleanup.
I can see how doing things a little differently would make this part of gdb
that much more obvious and clean. I started to go down this road
but ran out of time (for the moment at least).
I still want to get this part in.
The name "new_symfile_objfile" is confusing.
"symfile_objfile" has a very specific meaning: it is the piece of global
state that records the "main" objfile. Thus one would naturally expect
that new_symfile_objfile would only be called when there's a new main objfile.
However, this is not the case. :-(
To remove this bit of confusion this patch renames the function.
And since it has only one caller in the same file I made it static.
That helps limit the scope of things one needs to think about when
cleaning up clear_symtab_users.

* symfile.h (new_symfile_objfile): Delete.
* symfile.c (finish_new_objfile): Renamed from new_symfile_objfile.
All callers updated.
