258
259 This function only does the minimum work necessary for letting the
260 user "name" things symbolically; it does not read the entire symtab.
261 Instead, it reads the external and static symbols and puts them in partial
262 symbol tables. When more extensive information is requested of a
263 file, the corresponding partial symbol table is mutated into a full
264 fledged symbol table by going back and reading the symbols
265 for real. The function dwarf_psymtab_to_symtab() is the function that
a7446af6
FF
266 does this for DWARF symbols.
267
268 Note that ELF files have a "minimal" symbol table, which looks a lot
269 like a COFF symbol table, but has only the minimal information necessary
270 for linking. We process this also, and just use the information to
1ab3bf1b 271 add to gdb's minimal symbol table. This gives us some minimal debugging
