Symbol Query Tool

`symquery` is a symbol querying tool that operates on Linux, Mac, and Windows and supports the Windows PDB, Linux ELF, Mac Mach-O, and Windows PECOFF formats with DWARF2 line information.

The usage summary is as follows:

% bin/symquery.exe
Usage:
Look up addresses for one module:
D:\derek\drmemory\bin\symquery.exe -e <module> [-f] [-v] -a [<address relative to module base> ...]
Look up addresses for multiple modules:
D:\derek\drmemory\bin\symquery.exe [-f] [-v] -q <pairs of [module_path;address relative to module base] on stdin>
Look up exact symbols for one module:
D:\derek\drmemory\bin\symquery.exe -e <module> [-v] [--enum] -s [<symbol1> <symbol2> ...]
Look up symbols matching wildcard patterns (glob-style: *,?) for one module:
D:\derek\drmemory\bin\symquery.exe -e <module> [-v] --search -s [<symbol1> <symbol2> ...]
Look up private symbols matching wildcard patterns (glob-style: *,?) for one module:
D:\derek\drmemory\bin\symquery.exe -e <module> [-v] --searchall -s [<symbol1> <symbol2> ...]
List all symbols in a module:
D:\derek\drmemory\bin\symquery.exe -e <module> [-v] --list
List all source lines in a module:
D:\derek\drmemory\bin\symquery.exe -e <module> [-v] --lines
Optional parameters:
-f = show function name
-v = verbose
--enum = look up via external enum rather than drsyms-internal enum

When converting from an address to a symbol or function and line number, the address must be an offset from the module base, and not an absolute address.

Searching for symbols using wildcards is only supported on Windows.

On Windows, when using –search, export symbols may not show up (this is an artifact of the underlying use of the `dbghelp` library to read PDB files). We recommend using –searchall, unless the extra overhead is an issue (only relevant for very large PDB files).

Below are some examples.

addr2line-like functionality:

% bin/symquery.exe -e tests/free.exe -a 0x1077
d:\checkout\drmemory\git\src\tests\free.c:48+0x7
% bin/symquery.exe -e tests/free.exe -f -a 0x1077
main+0x67
d:\checkout\drmemory\git\src\tests\free.c:48+0x7

On Linux:

% bin/symquery -e tests/free -v -f -a 0x6d5
<debug info: type=ELF symtab, has symbols, has line numbers>
main+0xb9
/home/user/checkout/src/tests/free.c:61+0x7

On Mac:

% bin/symquery -e ./a.out -v -f -a 0x33a1
<debug info: type=Mach-O symtab, has symbols, has line numbers>
