Re: [cdt-dev] address to symbol UI

[Adrian Taylor <adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Just in case it helps, Ken Ryall kindly added an API to convert from  
address to symbol. The relevant Bugzilla is:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175532
So, hopefully, it's just a matter of knocking up a view to use that API.

Regards

Adrian
