Currently, and abbrev_info points to a separately allocated array of
attr_abbrev objects. This array is constructed in a temporary vector,
then copied to the abbrev table's obstack.
This patch changes abbrev_info to use the struct hack to store the
objects directly, and changes abbrev_table::read to avoid an extra
copy when allocating, using the "growing objects" capability of
obstacks.
This saves a bit of space, and also perhaps a little time.

In a longer series that I am working on, I needed to remove the
objfile parameter from abbrev_table::read. It seemed to me that this
was a simple and relatively harmless patch, so I'm sending it now.

(cutu_reader::cutu_reader, cutu_reader::cutu_reader)

parameter.
* dwarf2/abbrev.c (abbrev_table::read): Remove objfile parameter.
Don't read section. Add assert.
Profiling showed that calls to abbrev_table::lookup_abbrev were "too
visible". As these are just forwarding calls to the hash table, this
patch inlines the lookup. Also, htab_find_with_hash is used, avoiding
another call.
The run previous to this had times of (see the first patch in the
series for an explanation):
gdb 1.69
libxul 2.02
Ada 2.52
This patch improves the times to:
gdb 1.64
libxul 1.99
Ada 2.47

* dwarf2/abbrev.h (struct abbrev_table) <lookup_abbrev>: Inline.
Use htab_find_with_hash.
<add_abbrev>: Remove "abbrev_number" parameter.
* dwarf2/abbrev.c (abbrev_table::add_abbrev): Remove
"abbrev_number" parameter. Use htab_find_slot_with_hash.
(hash_abbrev): Add comment.
(abbrev_table::lookup_abbrev): Move to header file.
(abbrev_table::read): Update.
This changes abbrev_table to use an htab_up rather than an ad hoc,
bucket-based hash table.
2020-02-08 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
* dwarf2/abbrev.c (abbrev_table): Move constructor from header.
Rewrite.
(abbrev_table::add_abbrev, abbrev_table::lookup_abbrev): Rewrite.

This cleans up the DWARF abbrev_table API a bit, primarily by making
