What is the fastest way to find where an address is mapped in GDB?

Question

Currently I manually go through the list of memory mappings in info proc mappings to see in what range the address falls in. Isn't there an easier way?

(gdb) i proc map
process 23912
Mapped address spaces:

      Start Addr           End Addr       Size     Offset objfile
        0x601000           0x6ce000    0xcd000        0x0 [heap]

You want info sym. Here it is from different frames in the stack of a simple program:

(gdb) info sym $pc
_fxstat + 20 in section .text of /lib64/libc.so.6

or

(gdb) info sym $pc
std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& std::__ostream_insert<char, std::char_traits<char> >(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, char const*, long) + 422 in section .text of /lib64/libstdc++.so.6

or

(gdb) info sym $pc
main + 25 in section .text of /tmp/q
