符号表是编译期产生的一个hash列表，随着可执行文件在一起
示例程序
int a = 10;
int b;
void foo(){
static int c=100;
}
int main(){
int d=1000;
int e;
foo();
}
符号表包括了变量和函数的信息，以及调试信息，可以通过nm 命令查看符号表
$nm -a
0000000000000000 a
0000000000004028 D a

Key to Flags:
W (write), A (alloc), X (execute), M (merge), S (strings), I (info),
L (link order), O (extra OS processing required), G (group), T (TLS),
C (compressed), x (unknown), o (OS specific), E (exclude),
l (large), p (processor specific)
nm 和readelf 还有很多功能， man 真的值得看看
符号表的生成
符号表在编译的词法分析的时候，一直向符号表里填入符号，例如有重复定义的时候会报错，因为符号表已经存在该符号了。
符号表的使用
- 链接的时候，链接器会去符号表查找引用的符号是否存在
- 对于常量，编译器会向符号表查找const的值，直接替换
符号表中的调试代码
所以说区分debug版本和release 版本的方法就是看符号表里有没有调试符号了
通过objdump -g a.out 可以看到很多调试信息

分离调试信息
将调试信息保存到a.symbol 中
objcopy --only-keep-debug a.out a.symbol
去除调试信息
objcopy --strip-debug a.out a.bin
可以发现去除符号信息的debug 版本少了一下符号（表头）

可见，没有调试信息的堆栈信息是比较少的， 另外有调试信息提示没有源文件，所以如果将文件放到指定位置，就可以逐行调试代码了。
生产上用符号文件调试releas 程序
- 我们通常将调试文件放到可执行文件相同的目录，因为gdb会在当前目录查找符号文件。 另外可以通过gdb -s 来指定符号文件的位置。可以加多个符号文件
- 我们可以通过attach 加上-s 来调试运行中的程序
