A minimal symbol is a symbol for which there is no direct debug
information. For example, for an ELF binary, minimal symbols are
created from the ELF symbol table.
For the definition of the minimal symbol structure, see struct
minimal_symbol in symtab.h.
Minimal symbols are stored in tables attached to an objfile; see
objfiles.h for details. Code should generally treat these tables
as opaque and use functions provided by minsyms.c to inspect them.

This returns a new minimal symbol. It is ok to modify the returned
minimal symbol (though generally not necessary). It is not ok,
though, to stash the pointer anywhere; as minimal symbols may be
moved after creation. The memory for the returned minimal symbol
is still owned by the minsyms.c code, and should not be freed.
Arguments are:
NAME - the symbol's name
NAME_LEN - the length of the name
COPY_NAME - if true, the minsym code must make a copy of NAME. If
false, then NAME must be NUL-terminated, and must have a lifetime
that is at least as long as OBJFILE's lifetime.
ADDRESS - the address of the symbol
MS_TYPE - the type of the symbol
SECTION - the symbol's section

OBJFILE - the objfile associated with the minimal symbol. */

remove msymbol_objfile This is another patch in my ongoing series to "split" objfile to share more read-only data across inferiors. See http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ObjfileSplitting When symbols are finally shared, there will be no back-link from the symbol to its containing objfile, because there may be more than one such objfile. So, all such back-links must be removed. One hidden back-link is the msymbol_objfile function. Since (eventually) a symbol may appear in more than one objfile, trying to look up the objfile given just a symbol cannot work. This patch removes msymbol_objfile in favor of using a bound minimal symbol. It introduces a new function to make this conversion simpler in some spots. The bonus of this patch is that using msymbol_objfile is slower than simply looking up the owning objfile in the first place.
