Subject: how does gdb extract symbol table information from binary files?
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2004 23:43:00 -0000
X-SW-Source: 2004-07/txt/msg00189.txt.bz2

Hello,

Could someone please help me understand how gdb fishes symbol table 
information when asked to print a struct value? I tried working my way 
down print_command_1(), but didn't succeed.

thanks,
Rohit.
