Addresses cannot be specified as a linespec (@pxref{Specify Location}).
So, for example, if you want to disassemble function @code{bar}
in file @file{foo.c}, you must type @samp{disassemble 'foo.c'::bar}
and not @samp{disassemble foo.c:bar}.
Some architectures have more than one commonly-used set of instruction
mnemonics or other syntax.
