Bug ID: 425026
Summary: who_points_at should report the field in the object
that does the pointing
Product: valgrind
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: memcheck
Assignee: jsew...@acm.org
Reporter: noelgran...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Assuming we have debug information, it would be nice if the
(gdb) monitor who_points_at 0xsomething
command, could dig into the gdb typeinfo and report which field contains the
pointer value.
If that turns out to be too hard, a good second-option solution would be adding
an extra option
(gdb) monitor who_points_at 0xsomething print
which
(a) calculates the start address of the containing object
(b) finds out the type of the containting object (valgrind seems to know this
already)
(c) calls
(gdb) print *(T *)0xsourceobject
which will make gdb print out the whole containing object.
Thanks
