Subject: [PATCH][PR symtab/17855] Fix.
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 06:27:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m33876ary6.fsf@sspiff.org> (raw)

Hi.

This patch fixes symtab/17855.
Basically the issue is that breakpoint_re_set is currently being called
before observer_notify_new_objfile (NULL), and thus the ada symbol
cache (and the general symbol cache of a separate patch) aren't being
flushed first, so that when breakpoints are reset symbol lookup is being
done on a stale cache.

Regression tested on amd64-linux.

	PR symtab/17855
	* symfile.c (clear_symtab_users): Notify observers of change before
	calling breakpoint_re_set.
