#ifndef MINSYMS_H

/* This header declares most of the API for dealing with minimal
   symbols and minimal symbol tables.  A few things are declared
   elsewhere; see below.

   A minimal symbol is a symbol for which there is no direct debug
   information.  For example, for an ELF binary, minimal symbols are
   created from the ELF symbol table.

   For the definition of the minimal symbol structure, see struct
   minimal_symbol in symtab.h.

   Minimal symbols are stored in tables attached to an objfile; see
   objfiles.h for details.  Code should generally treat these tables
   as opaque and use functions provided by minsyms.c to inspect them.
*/

/* Prepare to start collecting minimal symbols.  This should be called
   by a symbol reader to initialize the minimal symbol module.
   Currently, minimal symbol table creation is not reentrant; it
   relies on global (static) variables in minsyms.c.  */

void init_minimal_symbol_collection (void);

/* Return a cleanup which is used to clean up the global state left
   over by minimal symbol creation.  After calling
   init_minimal_symbol_collection, a symbol reader should call this
   function.  Then, after all minimal symbols have been read,
   regardless of whether they are installed or not, the cleanup
   returned by this function should be run.  */

   This returns a new minimal symbol.  It is ok to modify the returned
   minimal symbol (though generally not necessary).  It is not ok,
   though, to stash the pointer anywhere; as minimal symbols may be
   moved after creation.  The memory for the returned minimal symbol
   is still owned by the minsyms.c code, and should not be freed.
   
   Arguments are:

   NAME - the symbol's name
   NAME_LEN - the length of the name
   COPY_NAME - if true, the minsym code must make a copy of NAME.  If
   false, then NAME must be NUL-terminated, and must have a lifetime
   that is at least as long as OBJFILE's lifetime.
   ADDRESS - the address of the symbol
   MS_TYPE - the type of the symbol
   SECTION - the symbol's section
   BFD_SECTION - the symbol's BFD section; used to find the
   appropriate obj_section for the minimal symbol.  This can be NULL.
   OBJFILE - the objfile associated with the minimal symbol.  */
