           Summary: allow probing mangled names from the symbol table
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
        AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: jistone@redhat.com


Following up on bug #11880 comment #3, it would be nice if we could support
probing mangled names that only exist in the symbol table.  From that bug we
gained the ability to probe based on MIPS_linkage_name, but that DWARF
attribute doesn't always exist on functions of interest.  Particularly,
constructors and deconstructors seem to never have MIPS_linkage_name, so the
symbol table is the only source available for the mangled name.
