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
