symbols

Contains information for introspection of clickhouse binary. It requires the introspection privilege to access. This table is only useful for C++ experts and ClickHouse engineers.

Columns:

• symbol (String) — Symbol name in the binary. It is mangled. You can apply demangle(symbol) to obtain a readable name.
• address_begin (UInt64) — Start address of the symbol in the binary.
• address_end (UInt64) — End address of the symbol in the binary.
• name (String) — Alias for event.

Example

SELECT address_begin, address_end - address_begin AS size, demangle(symbol) FROM system.symbols ORDER BY size DESC LIMIT 10
