  43
  44    A minimal symbol is a symbol for which there is no direct debug
  45    information.  For example, for an ELF binary, minimal symbols are
  46    created from the ELF symbol table.
  47
  48    For the definition of the minimal symbol structure, see struct
  49    minimal_symbol in symtab.h.
  50
  51    Minimal symbols are stored in tables attached to an objfile; see
  52    objfiles.h for details.  Code should generally treat these tables
  53    as opaque and use functions provided by minsyms.c to inspect them.
  54 */

  87    that is at least as long as OBJFILE's lifetime.
