           Summary: replace dynamic symbol table (--export-dynamic) for
                    backtraces
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: druntime
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: code dawg.eu



Currently we rely on the dynamic symbol table to generate stack traces.
This only works with exported functions of an executable (i.e.
visibility=default) and requires the -L--export-dynamic argument.

One alternative would be to use DWARF instead. It would also allow to get line
numbers, but is only available in debug builds.

A better compromise might be to provide MiniDebugInfo which is a compressed
symbol table in .gnu_debugdata.
