See probe_print_handlers_.pl1 and probe_display_data_.pl1 for such existing uses. However, the general pointer display routine, format_pointer_.pl1 does not make use of interpret_ptr_ to provide a more meaningful description of displayed pointer values. format_pointer_ is also called by display_data_, which is used by analyze_multics and dump_segment commands. Thus, improved pointer descriptions from format_pointer_ could enhance many tools. Currently, the most neglected case is mapping a pointer into a bound segment to its segname$entryname symbolic form. Such mapping of numbers to named entrypoints can greatly assist in debug and investigation efforts. " enhancement closed major MR12.6f Tools MR12.6e fixed
