/*
 * To allow the debugger to debug programs that used rld on themselves without
 * having the having the programs create a debug file information is maintained
 * in the rld package for the debugger.  This information is two static data
 * items and a static routine.  The information that is maintained is the state
 * of the loaded sets are currently loaded into the program.  The number of
 * object files and their names that make up each set and the resulting address
 * they were loaded at is maintained for each set.  The static data symbol
 * rld_loaded_state points to an array of rld_loaded_state structures that
 * contains the above information.  The static data symbol rld_nloaded_states
 * contains the count of these structures.  When the loaded state is changed
 * the static routine rld_loaded_state_changed() is called.
 *
 * This is the only information in the rld package the debugger is allowed to
 * use.  The debugger sets a break point on the routine rld_loaded_state_changed
 * when it is triped on then it can inspect the rld_loaded_state.  Then using
 * the rld package and the program it is debugging as a base file then it can
 * create the symbols for the loaded sets by doing rld_loads for each set.
 * The debugger uses an undocumented feature of rld_load (intended only for it's
 * use) which is to used the interger value of 1 (RLD_DEBUG_OUTPUT_FILENAME)
 * for the output_filename which causes the symbols to be created and left in
 * memory and not written to a file.
 *
 * When the debugger attaches to a running process there is a window of time
 * where the process could be doing an rld operation and the state in not
 * correct.  The window is shorted to it's minimal time by changing the value
 * of rld_nloaded_states so that that number of states can be safely accessed.
 * There are still small windows where problems can occur.
