             Bug #: 15252
           Summary: can shrink struct symbol by removing aux_value
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: symtab
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: tromey@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Right now struct symbol has an "aux_value" pointer which can be used
by the symbol readers to attach extra data to a symbol.  However,
there is no need for this.  Instead, the symbol readers could subclass
symbol as needed.  This would shrink many symbols by an entire pointer.
