binutils

To map a memory address to a source code line, use the addr2line utility with your executable and the specific memory address. It converts crash dump addresses into corresponding function names and line numbers for debugging.

To decode mangled C++ symbols, pass the compiled binary or symbol output through the c++filt utility. It translates compiler-generated names back into readable C++ function signatures for easier analysis.

To extract readable text from an executable file, use the strings utility. It locates and prints printable character sequences within binary files, helping identify embedded data and dependencies.

To reduce executable size by stripping symbols, use the strip utility on your ELF binary. It removes debug information and unneeded symbols, optimizing the final file structure for deployment.

Yes, you can create, list, and extract object files from a static library archive using the ar utility. It manages static archives by grouping multiple object files into a single library file.

To modify sections or convert formats within an ELF binary, use the objcopy utility. It performs binary transformations by altering sections, converting object formats, and embedding data into executables.
