2.3.0 - 2024-03-06

Release Notes

Added

• The --extra-info option can be used to add additional information via
  INFO lines at the beginning of the output file
• The --no-generator option can be used to prevent dump_syms from emitting
  the INFO GENERATOR line thus restoring the traditional Breakpad-based
  dump_syms behavior

Changed

• Paths in MinGW executables are never canonicalized, they will be printed out
  exactly like they appear in the debug information

v2.2.2

Changed

• Update the goblin crate to match the one used by symbolic and the bitflags crate to the next major version. This restores the ability to build the tool.

v2.2.1

Changed

• Use the last version of the symbolic crates and update several other dependencies

v2.2.0

Added

• dump_syms now supports dumping DWARF debug information in Windows PE files

Changed

• Use the last version of symbolic (11) and various other crates

Fixed

• Avoid underflows when infering the length of the last line in a function
• Do not emit INLINE_ORIGIN directives where the name is made entirely of whitespace, these are replaced with a <name omitted> symbol

v2.1.1

Changed

• Use the last version of the symbolic crates and update to clap 4

Fixed

• INLINE_ORIGIN names could contain line-breaks if the debuginfo contained them.
  These caused parsing the .sym file to fail so they're now stripped before
  emitting them.

v2.1.0

Added

• The program version is now included in the .sym file under a INFO GENERATOR line. This line can be used to identify which version of dump_syms was used to produce a .sym file and will be ignored by most legacy tools.

Changed

• Use the last version of the symbolic, goblin and cpp_demangle crates for improved output and better compatibility

v2.0.0

Major release, adds support for inlined functions in symbol files and fixes a
large number of issues.

Added

• Emit information about inlined functions using INLINE and INLINE_ORIGIN
  directives when the --inlines option is specified.

Changed

• Use the same logic to handle Windows PE/PDB and ELF files, resulting in
  better consistency across platforms
• Dummy symbols for executable sections are now generated for all architectures
• static is not emitted anymore in front of method names

Fixes

• Linux absolute paths in Windows PDB files are handled correctly
• Names that were accidentally demangled twice are now handled properly
• Parameter size is now detected correctly on Windows
• Symbols matching multiple addresses are now properly marked on ELF
• The best symbol is always used when present in separate files, even when it
  doesn't appear in the first file
• Using symbol stores now works correctly on Linux and macOS too

v1.0.1

What's Changed

• Really bumped the crate's version number
• Fix dumping without HTTP feature by @Jake-Shadle in #376

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v1.0.1

v1.0.0

What's Changed

• Bump to version 1.0.0 - dump_syms has been stable for a while
• Update symbolic from 8.0.3 to 8.7.3
• Normalize anonymous namespace between platforms (#145)
• Generate a FUNC entry for every CFI entry when dumping DLL/EXE objects lacking debug information
• Fallback to PE file name if no PDB was found (#201)
• Remove PUBLIC symbols duplicating FUNC ones and label ELF executable sections when dumping ELF files
• Add an option (--check-cfi) to fail in case of no stack data
• Improve support for executable section symbols in ELF files
• The crate can now be used as a library
• Many more small changes
