You have even easier task here as minidebuginfo is ever combined only with
.dynsym and .dynsym never contains local symbols.
I thought that was true, but in practice there seem to be some local
symbols in dynsym anyway (in shared libraries or pie executables). So I
wrote some tests to make sure the interweaving was done correctly and
also found I made the mistake to use the zero/empty entry from both
tables twice and I had an off-by-one error... The new tests contain an
example where dynsym has local symbols, and they show the original
tables and the result you get now using dwfl_module_getsym and
dwfl_module_addrsym. I rebased all patches on the mjw/minisymtab branch
against current master. I will post the patches as followup to this
message for review.
Thanks,
