Subject: info address "range"
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 03:56:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <83boojehhm.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)

Re this:

  (gdb) frame 2
  #2  0x0100ffda in compact_small_strings () at alloc.c:2271
  2271                abort ();
  (gdb) info address from
  Symbol "from" is multi-location:
    Range 0x100f452-0x100f45c: a variable in $esi

What exactly the "range xxxx-yyyy" mean?  There's nothing in the
manual about this format.  Is that the range of PC values?  If so,
then since the current frame address is not within those limits, it
seems, and therefore the information is not helpful.

Is there any way of knowing where will the variable be found for the
current PC value?

TIA
