Subject: Python API: Getting symbol by address
Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2017 18:20:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAATAM3Ep+Wr-UhM6OKTSmhxwVM3r7vWfHpfSRW=ruc=GsuZ5ng@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,
I have collection in C++ that stores pointers to functions and methods. I
want to pretty-print pointed method and functions names.

It is possible using GDB shell, for example:

(gdb) info symbol 0x405ece

top::test_thread() in section .text of test_procs


However I found no way to do the same using Python API.  Why such
limitation?

P/S Same question on stackoverflow :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47916564/gdb-python-api-getting-symbol-name-from-address

Thanks,
Roman
