During debugging I get 10-30 seconds for a response to simple commands like:
(gdb) print vectorvar.size()
With this patch the performance gets to 1-2 seconds which is somehow
acceptable. The problem is that dwarf2_gdb_index_functions.lookup_symbol
(quick_symbol_functions::lookup_symbol) may return (and returns) NULL even for
symbols which are present in .gdb_index but which can be found in already
expanded symtab. But searching in the already expanded symtabs is just too
slow when there are 400000+ expanded symtabs. There would be needed some
single global hash table for each objfile so that one does not have to iterate
all symtabs. Which .gdb_index could perfectly serve for, just its
lookup_symbol() would need to return authoritative yes/no answers.
Even after such fix these two simple patches are useful for example for
non-.gdb_index files.
One can reproduce the slugging interactive GDB performance with:
#include <string>
using namespace std;
string var;
class C {
public:
void m() {}
};
int main() {
C c;
c.m();
return 0;
}
g++ -o slow slow.C -Wall -g $(pkg-config --libs gtkmm-3.0)
gdb ./slow -ex 'b C::m' -ex 'maintenance set per-command space' -ex 'maintenance set per-command symtab' -ex 'maintenance set per-command
time' -ex r
[...]
(gdb) p <tab><tab>
Display all 183904 possibilities? (y or n) n
(gdb) p/r var
$1 = {static npos = <optimized out>, _M_dataplus = {<std::allocator<char>> = {<__gnu_cxx::new_allocator<char>> = {<No data fields>}, <No
data fields>}, _M_p = 0x3a4db073d8 <std::string::_Rep::_S_empty_rep_storage+24> ""}}

Without DWZ there are X global blocks for X primary symtabs for X CUs of
objfile. With DWZ there are X+Y global blocks for X+Y primary symtabs for
X+Y CUs where Y are 'DW_TAG_partial_unit's.
For 'DW_TAG_partial_unit's (Ys) their blockvector is usually empty. But not
always, I have found there typedef symbols, there can IMO be optimized-out
static variables etc.
Neither of the patches should cause any visible behavior change.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
