Subject: Symbol Table Lookup
Bcc:

I'm trying to optimize the symbol lookup to speed up the process for a test. The test need to be run over and over again, does anyone know a good way to reduce the time spent in looking up symbols and symtabs?

The following functions takes too long to finish (especially lookup_partial_symbol, which is referenced lots of times): find_pc_sect_psymbol lookup_transparent_type lookup_partial_symbol find_pc_sect_psymtab lookup_block_symbol

The following functions also takes a long time:
msymbol_hash_iw
lbasename
lookup_symbol_aux_psymtabs
lookup_partial_symtab
lookup_symbol_aux_symtabs

Thanks!

~K
