This patch avoids depending on the current locale when parsing & comparing symbol names, by using libiberty's safe-ctype.h uppercase TOLOWER, ISXDIGIT, etc. macros instead of the standard ctype.h tolower, isxdigit, etc. macros/functions. This commit: commit b1b60145aedb8adcb0b9dcf43a5ae735c2f03b51 Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> AuthorDate: Tue May 22 17:35:38 2018 +0100 Support UTF-8 identifiers in C/C++ expressions (PR gdb/22973) did something similar, except in the expression parser. This can improve GDB's symbol loading performance significantly. Currently strcmp_iw_ordered can show up high on profiles (called from sort_pst_symbols -> std::sort) because of the isspace and tolower functions. Hannes mentions seeing it as high as in ~24% of the profiling samples on Windows (https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168858.html). I tested GDB's performance (built with "-g -O2") loading a "-g -O0" build of gdb. I ran GDB 10 times like: /bin/time -f %e \ ./gdb/gdb --data-directory ./gdb/data-directory -nx \ -batch /tmp/gdb-g-O0 Then I computed the mean time. The baseline mean time was gdb 2.515 This patch brings the number down to gdb 2.096 Which is an around 16% improvement. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-05-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * utils.c: Include "gdbsupport/gdb-safe-ctype.h". (parse_escape): Use ISDIGIT instead of isdigit. (puts_debug): Use gdb_isprint instead of isprint. (fprintf_symbol_filtered): Use ISALNUM instead of isalnum. (cp_skip_operator_token, skip_ws, strncmp_iw_with_mode): Use ISSPACE instead of isspace. (strncmp_iw_with_mode): Use TOLOWER instead of tolower and ISSPACE instead of isspace. (strcmp_iw_ordered): Use ISSPACE instead of isspace. (string_to_core_addr): Use TOLOWER instead of tolower, ISXDIGIT instead of isxdigit and ISDIGIT instead of isdigit. gdbsupport/ChangeLog: 2020-05-23 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb-safe-ctype.h: New.
