Hope this is the right group for this (I didn't see any gdb.help groups) -

Background:

I'm dynamically loading code into a running program on the Sparc (Sunos 4.1.1),
I use gcc 2.3.3 to compile everything. I am not using any Unix/Sparc utilities
to load the code, rather I do it myself, opening the file for the code to be
loaded, mallocing storage and reading the code in, and linking everything with
my own code.

Question:

Is there a way to tell gdb that a function "foo" in a file "foo.c" now lives at some
address in  memory? Or that the code from a .c file now starts at a certain point?

Any help appreciated, email very appreciated.

Thanks,
