Thanks!
Right, currently in order to call 'ps()' I have to manually do the
following:
(gdb) info function ^ps$
Non-debugging symbols:
0x00007ffff6d7a3b0 ps
(gdb) call (void)0x00007ffff6d7a3b0()
That is, I manually find the address, then use it to call the function.
I'd like to avoid that extra first step somehow and have some
address-independent command.
