            Bug ID: 15547
           Summary: info types searches msymbols
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: symtab
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dje at google dot com

(gdb) info types b
...
Non-debugging symbols:
__bss_start


Absent some old debug format (stabs?) is there a reason to search minsyms for
types?  If not, and we still have to support old debug formats that do this,
can we record some information somewhere to make the output of "info types"
more useful?

--- Comment #1 from Tom Tromey <tromey at sourceware dot org> ---
"info types bss" on a running gdb doesn't show this for me.

I didn't look to see if it really still can happen.
Anyway enum minimal_symbol_type doesn't include anything
type-related, and IMO it shouldn't.  We should just declare
this to be impossible.  If some future format needs something
like this, for some reason, it can install a new 'quick'
handler.
