I think I've finished the implementation now and should have answered all your comments and concerns. I run tests now. I would appreciate if you (@clayborg , @labath , @jankratochvil ) can take a look at this patch again.

Comment at: lldb/source/Plugins/ObjectFile/ELF/ELFHeader.h:289
+struct NamedELFSymbol : ELFSymbol {
+  lldb_private::ConstString st_name_string; ///< Actual name of the ELF symbol

@clayborg in fact I think this could be the reason not to use a set of `lldb_private::Symbol` objects because there we don't store the section name or symbol name but only addresses or indexes. I did add the `st_section_name_string` struct member.


================
Comment at: lldb/source/Plugins/ObjectFile/ELF/ELFHeader.h:430
+    std::size_t h5 = std::hash<unsigned char>()(s.st_other);
+    std::size_t h6 = std::hash<elf::elf_half>()(s.st_shndx);
+    return llvm::hash_combine(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6);

I did add the section name to `NamedELFSymbol` and explicitly ignore it when building the hash for the base `ELFSymbol`.

removed.

+      m_unique_symbol_set.push_back(symbol);
+    }
   }

@jankratochvil we already have places inside this `for`-loop where we `continue`. I hope it is okay to ask the same question back that you've asked for those `continue`-places. Why don't we adjust the returned number (`i`) in case symbols where skipped?


================
Comment at: lldb/source/Plugins/ObjectFile/ELF/ObjectFileELF.cpp:2202-2206
+    NamedELFSymbol needle(symbol);
+    needle.st_name_string = ConstString(symbol_bare);
+    if (unique_elf_symbols.find(needle) == unique_elf_symbols.end()) {
+      symtab->AddSymbol(dc_symbol);
+      unique_elf_symbols.insert(needle);

@clayborg I find it much easier with `NamedELFSymbol` because all we have to do is derive from `ELFSymbol` and add the strings for the symbol name and the section name. If we were to use `lldb_private::Symbol` I would have to lookup the symbols manually each time I calculate a hash which seems bad. I mean, the symbol and section name already are `ConstString`s and should be stored and computed very efficiently. Also I wanted to keep things local to ELF and not mess with everything that uses `lldb_private::Symbol`. Makes sense?
