Request for new gdb command: 'info orientation'

[Josef Ezra <jezra@emc.com>]

Hi all

While writing a perl gui for gdb, I had to add a new command. It looks 
like this:

(gdb) info orientation main
0x00034960:753
0x00034b44:757
0x00034b48:761
0x00034b50:759
0x00034b54:761
0x00034b68:763
0x00034b70:772
(gdb)

and associate addresses with line numbers. This information allow 
merging the disassemble with the sources without executing 'info line' 
command for each address, since the last took too long (the difference 
between O(n^2) to O(n)).
(The command was also useful for analyzing patches and code changes.)

Is there an existing way of doing it? If not, will you consider adding 
this (or similar) command?

The perl gui (temporally named 'sgdb') is in the process of becoming an 
open source. Snapshots can be found at http://sgdb.sourceforge.net

The linkage between perl and gdb can be downloaded from CPAN. The module 
name is Devel::GDB.
