             Bug #: 13907
           Summary: RFE: Resolve static pointers in pretty printer
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: exp
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: avi@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified


When gdb prints out a function pointer, it looks it up in the symbol table and
prints the function name:

  $5 = {read = 0x55555567f85f <pic_ioport_read>, ...

However, it doesn't do the same for data pointers:

  $3 = {ops = 0x555555b6ba60, ...
  (gdb) p &pic_base_ioport_ops 
  $6 = (const MemoryRegionOps *) 0x555555b6ba60

It would be nice if $3 read as

  $3 = {ops = 0x555555b6ba60 <&pic_base_ioport_ops>, ...
