[Bug remote/14101] New: add the ability for remote servers toperform address->symbol lookups (i.e. add qAddress::)


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14101

             Bug #: 14101
           Summary: add the ability for remote servers to perform
                    address->symbol lookups (i.e. add qAddress::)
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: remote
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: christopher.key@cantab.net
    Classification: Unclassified


gdb provides the ability to lookup the address for a given symbol, both via the
console and to a remote gdb server: (hex encoding removed for clarity)

(gdb) info address foobar
symbol "foobar" is static storage at address 0xf000baaa


>>> qSymbol::
<<< qSymbol:foobar
>>> qSymbol:f000baaa::foobar



gdb also provides the ability to lookup the symbol for a given address via the
console:

(gdb) info symbol 0xf000baaa
foobar in section .data


It would be useful to have this ability provided to remote gdb servers too,
e.g.:

>>> qAddress::
<<< qAddress:f000baaa
>>> qSymbol:f000baaa:foobar
