you can get a symtab_and_line object for an arbitrary address by using the
decode_line function (see the Basic Python section of the manual) and passing
in "*0xaddr" as the argument.
e.g.
(gdb) python print gdb.decode_line("*" +
str(gdb.selected_frame().find_sal().pc))
(None, (<gdb.Symtab_and_line object at 0x7f55269cbe10>,))
(gdb)
I've suggested adding a reference to decode_line from the gdb.symtab_and_line
section.
If you have any recommendations how to further clarify the manual please let us
know.
