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

I don't think so.
It seems like it would not be too hard to convert sym_info to use ui-out
and thus be MI-ready, though.
