Subject: [PATCH] Remove some hardcoded bitfield sizes
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 02:15:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3vbdbzkl5.fsf@sspiff.org> (raw)

Hi.

This patch adds some macros to remove some hardcoded bitfield sizes.
It also shrinks a few bit fields, freeing up some space for
potential improvements.

Regression tested on amd64-linux.

2015-07-22  Doug Evans  <xdje42@gmail.com>

	* defs.h (LANGUAGE_BITS): Define.
	* psympriv.h (partial_symbol) <domain>: Use SYMBOL_DOMAIN_BITS.
	(partial_symbol) <aclass>: Use SYMBOL_ACLASS_BITS.
	* symtab.h (general_symbol_info> <language>: Usage LANGUAGE_BITS.
	(minimal_symbol_type): Add nr_minsym_types.
	(MINSYM_TYPE_BITS): Define.
	(minimal_symbol) <type>: Use MINSYM_TYPE_BITS.
	(domain_enum_tag): Add NR_DOMAINS.
	(SYMBOL_DOMAIN_BITS): Change from 4 to 3.
	(SYMBOL_ACLASS_BITS): Define from 6 to 5.
