Hi Andrew,

Is it possible to get the symbol's size using libunwind?
Not really.
How should this be added? The obvious change - modify
unw_get_proc_name's signature to return start/size would be abi breaking.
Grubbing through the sources it looks like:
- unw_get_proc_name returns the offset from the cursor address back to
the symbol (giving the symbol's address) but not the symbol's size
Yup.
- unw_get_proc_info returns a start_ip and end_ip but that looks to be
either the address range that the unwind applies to, or a guess at the
size based on the next symbol's address
Yes, the info returned here is supplied to apply to a "procedure"
which for unwinding-purposes is simply a contiguous address range
which may or may not correspond to a function.
