how can i get the source code path && file names from an ELF file(compired with -g)?

Question

I want to get the source code path && source names just through the ELF file, the .debug_str section contains what i need, but how can i filter them out?

Answer 1

$ readelf --string-dump=.debug_str YOUR_PROGRAM

works fine.

However, make sure your_program is not stripped by using command

file YOUR_PROGRAM

Answer 2

I suggest to use this command and tools like sed or grep.

$ readelf --string-dump=.debug_str YOUR_PROGRAM

this show path and source file name:

$ readelf --string-dump=.debug_str YOUR_PROGRAM | sed -n '/\/\|\.c/{s/.*\]  //p}'
