Interesting, I didn't remember about add_psymbol_to_bcache.  I'd
better back up - what are you accomplishing by this change?


A previous patch of mine introduced a bcache regression :D. The patch made cplus_specifc a pointer to an allocated struct. This is because we wanted to store more information in cplus_specific without penalizing the other other languages. With cplus_specific being a pointer hashing the whole symbol didn't work anymore. This patch is an attempt to fix that.
