hi. linux does have this.

you just strip the debug symbols out (and put them somewhere safe). then write a .gnu_debuglink section to the stripped ELF binary with a CRC that matches the stripped symbols.

once something bad happens: you just take the core dump, the symbols you have tucked away, and you are able to debug just fine.

Thanks to you and others for jumping in and pointing this out! There's nothing better than being corrected when it means learning something new and solving a long-standing problem.

This is great! Seems like this may have just become available in the last few years?
