[Elftoolchain-developers] Removing Debug Info from ELF

[Chengnian S. <che...@gm...>]

Dear All,
I would like to remove debug info from ELF.

Could you give me some advice.


Thanks so much.


PS: there are two mailing lists, but I am not sure which one is what I
should post. Sorry for any convenience.

is to remove debugging sections and debugging symbols.

debugging sections are identified by their names:

	  ".debug*",
	  ".gnu.linkonce.wi.*",
          ".line*",
          ".stab*",

debugging symbols has symbol type STT_SECTION or STT_FILE.

It isn't clear from the question whether you are looking for
information about the internals of ELF or about tools to remove debug
information from ELF objects.

If you are looking for tools, please see strip(1).

In fact I am looking forward to a tool which can remove debug information
from ELF files.
Thanks for your information.

As strip(1), do you mean http://linux.die.net/man/1/strip ?

Thanks again.

Chengnian.
