gdb: Symbol Tables In Python

 
 23.2.2.28 Symbol table representation in Python
 ...............................................
 
 Access to symbol table data maintained by GDB on the inferior is exposed
 to Python via two objects: 'gdb.Symtab_and_line' and 'gdb.Symtab'.
 Symbol table and line data for a frame is returned from the 'find_sal'
 method in 'gdb.Frame' object.  Frames In Python.
 
    For more information on GDB's symbol table management, see 
 Examining the Symbol Table Symbols, for more information.
 
    A 'gdb.Symtab_and_line' object has the following attributes:
 
  -- Variable: Symtab_and_line.symtab
      The symbol table object ('gdb.Symtab') for this frame.  This
      attribute is not writable.
 
  -- Variable: Symtab_and_line.pc
      Indicates the start of the address range occupied by code for the
      current source line.  This attribute is not writable.
 
  -- Variable: Symtab_and_line.last
      Indicates the end of the address range occupied by code for the
      current source line.  This attribute is not writable.
 
  -- Variable: Symtab_and_line.line
      Indicates the current line number for this object.  This attribute
      is not writable.
 
    A 'gdb.Symtab_and_line' object has the following methods:
 
  -- Function: Symtab_and_line.is_valid ()
      Returns 'True' if the 'gdb.Symtab_and_line' object is valid,
      'False' if not.  A 'gdb.Symtab_and_line' object can become invalid
      if the Symbol table and line object it refers to does not exist in
      GDB any longer.  All other 'gdb.Symtab_and_line' methods will throw
      an exception if it is invalid at the time the method is called.
 
    A 'gdb.Symtab' object has the following attributes:
 
  -- Variable: Symtab.filename
      The symbol table's source filename.  This attribute is not
      writable.
 
  -- Variable: Symtab.objfile
      The symbol table's backing object file.  Objfiles In
      Python.  This attribute is not writable.
 
  -- Variable: Symtab.producer
      The name and possibly version number of the program that compiled
      the code in the symbol table.  The contents of this string is up to
      the compiler.  If no producer information is available then 'None'
      is returned.  This attribute is not writable.
 
    A 'gdb.Symtab' object has the following methods:
 
  -- Function: Symtab.is_valid ()
      Returns 'True' if the 'gdb.Symtab' object is valid, 'False' if not.
      A 'gdb.Symtab' object can become invalid if the symbol table it
      refers to does not exist in GDB any longer.  All other 'gdb.Symtab'
      methods will throw an exception if it is invalid at the time the
      method is called.
 
  -- Function: Symtab.fullname ()
      Return the symbol table's source absolute file name.
 
  -- Function: Symtab.global_block ()
      Return the global block of the underlying symbol table.  
      Blocks In Python.
 
  -- Function: Symtab.static_block ()
      Return the static block of the underlying symbol table.  
      Blocks In Python.
 
  -- Function: Symtab.linetable ()
      Return the line table associated with the symbol table.  Line
      Tables In Python.
