- Subject: [patch] Improve symbol lookup performance noted in PR 15519
Hi.
Here's the patch I intend to check in to "fix"
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15519
[It's not a complete "fix", there's still some performance gains
to be had, but I'm leaving that for a separate pass. This gets
us >95% of the way there, at least in the benchmarks I've been using,
including the one in the PR. Thanks Paul!]
No regressions on amd64-linux, with/without Fission.
I'll let it sit for a few days in case there are any more comments.
I'd also like to commit this to the 7.6 branch. Ok Joel?
[I need to rerun the testsuite in that tree before committing there.]

PR 15519
* cp-namespace.c (find_symbol_in_baseclass): Call
cp_lookup_symbol_in_namespace instead of cp_lookup_symbol_namespace.
Remove call to lookup_symbol_static. Call lookup_static_symbol_aux
unconditionally. Call check_typedef on base types before accessing
them.
(cp_lookup_nested_symbol): Fix comment.
testsuite/
* gdb.cp/derivation2.cc: New file.
* gdb.cp/derivation.cc (main): Call foo2.
* gdb.cp/derivation.exp: Add tests for typedefs in another
file, and when there's an active block.
