/*
* 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.
