[Bug tapsets/10625] nested functions aren't probeable


------- Additional Comments From tromey at redhat dot com  2009-09-11 15:33 -------
GDB also doesn't descend into the outer function's DIEs when
scanning the DWARF, because this is deemed a bad tradeoff: it
is expensive and would only be useful for supporting a relatively
obscure GNU C extension.  (GDB does do this for Ada, though, because
this is a standard construct there...)

One idea would be to name these in an index.  Our current plan is here:
