For complex symbols, e.g. comming from C++, GDB can parse them when we provide them in quotes. E.g. x/10i &'A::foo()'.
Sadly, the same does not work with Pwndbg commands - e.g. vmmap or nearpc just can't parse those.
We need to find a way to properly parse addresses/symbols once and for all.
This bug can be reproduced with the following C++ program:
#include <stdio.h>
struct A {
void foo() { puts("foo"); }
};
int main() {
A a;
a.foo();
}Compiled as g++ -ggdb -O0 main.cpp -o a.out and then ran in GDB.
Then, x/10i &'A::foo()' will show us disassembly but nearpc or vmmap on the same symbol will not work.
