Subject: MI command for obtaining symbol given an address
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:29:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <C28713F579DB094D828AF937C214266A18D357E8EB@SJEXCHCCR01.corp.ad.broadcom.com> (raw)

Hello all,

I'm trying to use the MI interface to obtain the symbol for an address (for example I'd use "info symbol 0x601260" at the CLI). 

I can't find an equivalent command in the MI and none of the tricks I tried to use such as creating variable objects for the address location or using -data-read-memory-bytes (hoping it would provide symbol names like "x/50w 0x601260" does) seem to help either. Is there a way of obtaining symbol information through the MI?  

Thanks in advance

Phil
