The ELF spec is very clear:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the value is non-zero, it represents a string table index that gives the
symbol name. Otherwise, the symbol table entry has no name.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In particular, a st_name of 0 most certainly doesn't mean that the symbol has
the same name as the section.

ELF with support for:
- File headers
- Section headers + data
- Relocations
- Symbols
- Unwind data (only COFF/Win64)
The output format follows a few rules:
- Values are almost always output one per line (as elf-dump/coff-dump already do). - Many values are translated to something readable (like enum names), with the raw value in parentheses.
- Hex numbers are output in uppercase, prefixed with "0x".
- Flags are sorted alphabetically.
- Lists and groups are always delimited.
Example output:
---------- snip ----------
Sections [
Section {
Index: 1
Name: .text (5)
Type: SHT_PROGBITS (0x1)
Flags [ (0x6)
SHF_ALLOC (0x2)
SHF_EXECINSTR (0x4)
]
Address: 0x0
Offset: 0x40
Size: 33
Link: 0
Info: 0
AddressAlignment: 16
EntrySize: 0
Relocations [
0x6 R_386_32 .rodata.str1.1 0x0
0xB R_386_PC32 puts 0x0
0x12 R_386_32 .rodata.str1.1 0x0
0x17 R_386_PC32 puts 0x0
]
SectionData (
0000: 83EC04C7 04240000 0000E8FC FFFFFFC7 |.....$..........|
0010: 04240600 0000E8FC FFFFFF31 C083C404 |.$.........1....|
0020: C3 |.|
)
}
]
---------- snip ----------
Relocations and symbols can be output standalone or together with the section header as displayed in the example.
This feature set supports all tests in test/MC/COFF and test/MC/ELF (and I suspect all additional tests using elf-dump), making elf-dump and coff-dump deprecated.
Patch by Nico Rieck!
llvm-svn: 178679
* Add begin_dynamic_table() / end_dynamic_table() private interface to ELFObjectFile.
* Add begin_libraries_needed() / end_libraries_needed() interface to ObjectFile, for grabbing the list of needed libraries for a shared object or dynamic executable.
* Implement this new interface completely for ELF, leave stubs for COFF and MachO.
* Add 'llvm-readobj' tool for dumping ObjectFile information.
