1047 This function is run after symbol reading, or from a cleanup.

1049 has been blown away, but the other GDB data structures that may
1050 reference it have not yet been cleared or re-directed. (The old
1051 symtab was zapped, and the cleanup queued, in free_named_symtab()
1054 This function can be queued N times as a cleanup, or called
1055 directly; it will do all the work the first time, and then will be a
1056 no-op until the next time it is queued. This works by bumping a
1057 counter at queueing time. Much later when the cleanup is run, or at
1058 the end of symbol processing (in case the cleanup is discarded), if
1059 the queued count is greater than the "done-count", we do the work
1060 and set the done-count to the queued count. If the queued count is
1061 less than or equal to the done-count, we just ignore the call. This
1062 is needed because reading a single .o file will often replace many
1063 symtabs (one per .h file, for example), and we don't want to reset
1064 the breakpoints N times in the user's face.
1066 The reason we both queue a cleanup, and call it directly after symbol
1067 reading, is because the cleanup protects us in case of errors, but is
1068 discarded if symbol reading is successful. */
