/**

ELF object can contain three different places with symbol names and addresses:

1. Symbol table in section headers. It is used for static linking and usually left in executable.
It is not loaded in memory and they are not necessary for program to run.
It does not relate to debug info and present regardless to -g flag.
You can use strip to get rid of this symbol table.
If you have this symbol table in your binary, you can manually read it and get symbol names, even for symbols from anonymous namespaces.

2. Hashes in program headers such as DT_HASH and DT_GNU_HASH.
It is necessary for dynamic object (.so libraries and any dynamically linked executable that depend on .so libraries)
because it is used for dynamic linking that happens in runtime and performed by dynamic loader.
Only exported symbols will be presented in that hash tables. Symbols from anonymous namespaces are not.
This part of executable binary is loaded in memory and accessible via 'dl_iterate_phdr', 'dladdr' and 'backtrace_symbols' functions from libc.
ClickHouse versions prior to 19.13 has used just these symbol names to symbolize stack traces
and stack traces may be incomplete due to lack of symbols with internal linkage.
But because ClickHouse is linked with most of the symbols exported (-rdynamic flag) it can still provide good enough stack traces.

3. DWARF debug info. It contains the most detailed information about symbols and everything else.
It allows to get source file names and line numbers from addresses. Only available if you use -g option for compiler.
It is also used by default for ClickHouse builds, but because of its weight (about two gigabytes)
it is split to separate binary and provided in clickhouse-common-static-dbg package.
This separate binary is placed in /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/clickhouse.debug and is loaded automatically by tools like gdb, addr2line.
When you build ClickHouse by yourself, debug info is not split and present in a single huge binary.

What ClickHouse is using to provide good stack traces?

In versions prior to 19.13, only "program headers" (2) was used.

In version 19.13, ClickHouse will read program headers (2) and cache them,
also it will read itself as ELF binary and extract symbol tables from section headers (1)
to also symbolize functions that are not exported for dynamic linking.
And finally, it will read DWARF info (3) if available to display file names and line numbers.

What detail can you obtain depending on your binary?

If you have debug info (you build ClickHouse by yourself or install clickhouse-common-static-dbg package), you will get source file names and line numbers.
Otherwise you will get only symbol names. If your binary contains symbol table in section headers (the default, unless stripped), you will get all symbol names.
Otherwise you will get only exported symbols from program headers.
