David, what configurations did you test this change on? Did you see
regressions in the testsuite?
In any case, I agree with Kevin and Michael about this being a risky
move. SOFUN_ADDRESS_MAYBE_MISSING seems to fulfill a dual purpose: to
catch textlow problems, and to deal with multiple msyms by the same
name in different files.
If we are willing to add a filename to each minimal symbol everytime,
then we could get rid of the uses of the second type, being this much
less risky. If this is an acceptable overhead, we can get rid of the
ifdefs in symmisc.c, symtab.h, minsyms.c (this stuff was added in 1995
by Jim Kingdon).
About symtab.h: it is possible to remove the find_stab_function_addr
by making the function static in dbxread.c, and moving its definition
there from minsyms.c. I would consider that an obvious fix.
After this step is done we can think of testing removing the other
uses.
I am cc-ing Peter Schauer, since he also worked with the macro long
time back.
