------------------------------------------
Summary: Debug tracebacks don't show addresses of static functions
Key: DISPATCH-1971
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-1971
Project: Qpid Dispatch
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.15.0
Environment: i
Reporter: Charles E. Rolke
Trying to see the stack trace of a leaked qd_buffer_t is a problem when static
functions do not have their addresses exported. For instance:
{code:java}
Leak: 2021-02-19 15:32:58.999880 -0500 type: qd_buffer_t address: 0x21aa310

{code}
Having a stack address shown as *libqpid-dispatch.so(+0xc8b4b)
[0x7f5003885b4b]* is absolutely true but it doesn't reveal anything useful in
this context. The stack frame identified by *handle-incoming* was also
suppressed as a library address offset until the static attribute was removed.
Exporting addresses of non-inline, static functions could be effected by linker
tricks. Or in source by making a _STATIC_ macro that resolves to blank or to
_static_ based on the build type: the functions are no longer static and the
addresses are exported.
The same problem/issue exists for gdb tracebacks.
