32 
33    The core psymtab functions -- those in psymtab.c -- arrange for
34    nearly all psymtab- and psymbol-related allocations to happen
35    either in the psymtab_storage object (either on its obstack or in
36    other memory managed by this class), or on the per-BFD object.  The
37    only link from the psymtab storage object back to the objfile (or
38    objfile_obstack) that is made by the core psymtab code is the
39    compunit_symtab member in the standard_psymtab -- and a given
40    symbol reader can avoid this by implementing its own subclasses of
41    partial_symtab.
42 
43    However, it is up to each symbol reader to maintain this invariant
44    in other ways, if it wants to reuse psymtabs across multiple
45    objfiles.  The main issue here is ensuring that read_symtab_private
46    does not point into objfile_obstack.  */
