The .sym files are produced from binaries using the dump_syms tool, but there is [http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/airbag/tools/symbolstore.py a script in the Mozilla source tree] that will run dump_syms and generate the proper directory structure at the same time. In the Mozilla build system, running the |make buildsymbols| target in the top level Makefile will run this script against your current tree and produce a symbol store. There is also an |uploadsymbols| target in that same Makefile that can transfer the symbols to a remote server and unpack them. See [http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/airbag/tools/upload_symbols.sh the upload symbols script] for more information on its workings. | ||
