Thanks for the review but then it would become a performance regression, not the performance improvement I was trying to make.
Withdrawing this patch.



================
Comment at: source/Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/DWARFCompileUnit.cpp:74
                                lldb::offset_t *offset_ptr) {
-  Clear();
-
+  assert(m_offset == DW_INVALID_OFFSET);
   m_offset = *offset_ptr;
----------------

In such case each Extract() call will always make a new allocation of DWARFCompileUnit instance which is much more performance expensive that the double in-place reinitialization this patch was trying to avoid.



================
Comment at: source/Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/DWARFDebugInfo.cpp:294-297
       if (!cu.unique())
         cu.reset(new DWARFCompileUnit(dwarf2Data));
+      else
+        cu->Clear();

I see it in:
[[ https://github.com/llvm-mirror/lldb/blob/master/source/Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/DWARFDebugInfo.cpp#L295 ]]
and also in:
[[ https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk/source/Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/DWARFDebugInfo.cpp ]]
