Lookup

⚠️ The design and implementation chapter is outdated ⚠️

We have so far looked at the string table using nm. Programmatically the table can be found in the .symtab section. Each entry in this table represents a symbol and each entry has:

• shndx, a section header index (?). This should match the index of the .defmt section.
• value, this is the address of the symbol. For .defmt, this is the string index
• name, an index into some data structure full of strings. get_name returns the interned string
• the other info is not relevant
