This commits the result of running gdb/copyright.py as per our Start
of New Year procedure...
gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
This patch addresses slowness when setting breakpoints, especially in
heavily templatized code. Profiling showed that find_pc_sect_line in
symtab.c was the performance bottleneck. The original logic performed a
linear search over ordered data. This patch uses a binary search, as
suggested by comments around the function. There are no behavioural
changes, but gdb is now faster at setting breakpoints in template code.
Tested using on make check on an x86 target. The optimisation speeds up
the included template-breakpoints.py performance test by a factor of 7
on my machine.
