[Bug python/16008] New: Make MSYMBOL_SIZE Python accessible

            Bug ID: 16008
           Summary: Make MSYMBOL_SIZE Python accessible
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: python
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: jan.kratochvil at redhat dot com
        Depends on: 16007

=
We have a user report where coredump contains $pc pointing into .bss
gdb "disassemble", consequently, tries to disassemble *entire* .bss.
Please add a parameter or an option to "disassemble" command
which can be used to cap the output size. Something along the lines of
(gdb) disassemble /maxlines:20000

A proper "disassemble FUNCTION,+MAXSIZE" command would be easy to execute as
long as we could calculate MAXSIZE as min(20000,MSYMBOL_SIZE(FUNCTION)).
