Preserving pointer to functions

[Paul Rensing]

I have an interesting problem. I want to write to a file a structure which
contains pointers to functions and be able to read it back, in another
run. I want the connection to be maintained across the runs. 

Maybe if I examine the symbol table and save the name of the function,
I could search the table when I read it in. Is there some way to look
into the symbol table? I would prefer a machine-dependent method but I
will take what I can get.
