            Bug ID: 16237
           Summary: cache "needs frame" for symbols
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: symtab
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: tromey at redhat dot com

Right now symbol_read_needs_frame will call into
the symbol computed ops each time it is called.
This will cause a walk of the DWARF expression for
each invocation.
However, whether a symbol needs a frame is a static
property of the symbol.  So, the result could be
cached in the struct symbol.
This might be a reasonable micro-optimization.
