v.23.10New Feature

Added DWARF Input Format for ELF Debug Symbols

Added DWARF input format that reads debug symbols from an ELF executable/library/object file. #55450 (Michael Kolupaev).
Added DWARF input format to read debug symbols from ELF executable, library, or object files.

Why it matters

This feature enables users to directly parse and query debug symbol information embedded in ELF binaries, facilitating analysis and inspection of executable files within ClickHouse. It solves the problem of manually extracting and processing debug data outside the database, improving efficiency and integration.

How to use it

Use the new DWARF input format when reading data by specifying it in the FORMAT clause of the INSERT or SELECT statement, for example: FORMAT DWARF.
