23 /* This header declares most of the API for dealing with minimal
24    symbols and minimal symbol tables.  A few things are declared
25    elsewhere; see below.
26 
27    A minimal symbol is a symbol for which there is no direct debug
28    information.  For example, for an ELF binary, minimal symbols are
29    created from the ELF symbol table.
30 
31    For the definition of the minimal symbol structure, see struct
32    minimal_symbol in symtab.h.
33 
34    Minimal symbols are stored in tables attached to an objfile; see
35    objfiles.h for details.  Code should generally treat these tables
36    as opaque and use functions provided by minsyms.c to inspect them.
37 */
38 
39 /* Prepare to start collecting minimal symbols.  This should be called
40    by a symbol reader to initialize the minimal symbol module.
41    Currently, minimal symbol table creation is not reentrant; it
42    relies on global (static) variables in minsyms.c.  */

58    This returns a new minimal symbol.  It is ok to modify the returned
59    minimal symbol (though generally not necessary).  It is not ok,
60    though, to stash the pointer anywhere; as minimal symbols may be
61    moved after creation.  The memory for the returned minimal symbol
62    is still owned by the minsyms.c code, and should not be freed.

67    NAME_LEN - the length of the name
68    COPY_NAME - if true, the minsym code must make a copy of NAME.  If
69    false, then NAME must be NUL-terminated, and must have a lifetime
70    that is at least as long as OBJFILE's lifetime.
71    ADDRESS - the address of the symbol
72    MS_TYPE - the type of the symbol
73    SECTION - the symbol's section
74    BFD_SECTION - the symbol's BFD section; used to find the
75    appropriate obj_section for the minimal symbol.  This can be NULL.
