/* This file contains support routines for creating, manipulating, and
   destroying minimal symbol tables.

   Minimal symbol tables are used to hold some very basic information about
   all defined global symbols (text, data, bss, abs, etc).  The only two
   required pieces of information are the symbol's name and the address
   associated with that symbol.

   In many cases, even if a file was compiled with no special options for
   debugging at all, as long as was not stripped it will contain sufficient
   information to build useful minimal symbol tables using this structure.

   Even when a file contains enough debugging information to build a full
   symbol table, these minimal symbols are still useful for quickly mapping
   between names and addresses, and vice versa.  They are also sometimes used
   to figure out what full symbol table entries need to be read in.  */

   constructor functions --- "in-charge", "not-in-charge", and

   On exit, it resides between msymbol[0] and msymbol[result_count].

   When files contain multiple sources of symbol information, it is
   possible for the minimal symbol table to contain many duplicate entries.
   As an example, SVR4 systems use ELF formatted object files, which
   usually contain at least two different types of symbol tables (a
   standard ELF one and a smaller dynamic linking table), as well as
   DWARF debugging information for files compiled with -g.

   Without compacting, the minimal symbol table for gdb itself contains
   over a 1000 duplicates, about a third of the total table size.  Aside
   from the potential trap of not noticing that two successive entries
   identify the same location, this duplication impacts the time required
   to linearly scan the table, which is done in a number of places.  So we
   just do one linear scan here and toss out the duplicates.

   Since the different sources of information for each symbol may
   have different levels of "completeness", we may have duplicates
   that have one entry with type "mst_unknown" and the other with a
   known type.  So if the one we are leaving alone has type mst_unknown,
   overwrite its type with the type from the one we are compacting out.  */
