The replacement for the DWARF psymbol reader works in a somewhat
different way. The current reader reads and stores all the DIEs that
might be interesting. Then, if it is missing a DIE, it re-scans the
CU and reads them all. This approach is used for both intra- and
inter-CU references.
I instrumented the partial DIE hash to see how frequently it was used:
[ 0] ->
1538165
[ 1] -> 4912
[ 2] -> 96102
[ 3] -> 175
[ 4] -> 244
That is, most DIEs are never used, and some are looked up twice -- but
this is just an artifact of the implementation of
partial_die_info::fixup, which may do two lookups.
Based on this, the new implementation doesn't try to store any DIEs,
but instead just re-scans them on demand. In order to do this,
though, it is convenient to have a cache of DWARF abbrevs. This way,
if a second CU is needed to resolve an inter-CU reference, the abbrevs
for that CU need only be computed a single time.
