How do I find out which info table a continuation belongs to?

[Ömer Sinan Ağacan]

Anyone know where should I be looking at to improve this?

I found one workaround which is painful and does not work if you don't have the
asm dumps already, but basically if you can find the current location in the
program in the assembly dump you can find the map the symbols manually. E.g. I
see this in gdb:

    0x0000000000405115 Main_main1_info+101 movq   $0x405058,-0x10(%r12)
    0x000000000040511e Main_main1_info+110 mov    %rbx,(%r12)
    0x0000000000405122 Main_main1_info+114 mov    $0x8c7a9a,%edi

in the asm dump this code is shown as

    movq $sat_s6gH_info,-16(%r12)
    movq %rbx,(%r12)
    movl $True_closure+2,%edi

Once I found the code in the asm dump I can map addresses to symbols

    0x405058 -> sat_s6gH_info
    0x8c7a98 -> True_closure
