Split debug symbols out of Python wheels - #927
Merged

Conversation
Add per-OS symbol separation after cibuildwheel builds so shipped wheels stay stripped while crash reports remain debuggable: - Linux: objcopy split into .debug + gnu-debuglink - macOS: dsymutil into .dSYM + strip -S (regenerated post-delocate) - Windows: extract .pdb, drop .exp/.lib byproducts scripts/pip-package/split_debug_symbols.py does the split and repacks each wheel with a corrected RECORD; the workflow uploads the extracted symbols as separate per-platform artifacts. Depends on LadybugDB/ladybug-python#55 (submodule bump included here).

- setup.py now passes -DLBUG_SPLIT_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=OFF: raw .debug/dSYM
artifacts packaged inside the wheel crashed auditwheel repair
(pyelftools 'Section' object has no attribute 'iter_versions').
The split happens on the final repaired wheel instead, which needs
the debug info still present in the shipped binary.
- split_debug_symbols.py: _find_extensions no longer matches binaries
inside *.dSYM bundles ('.dSYM' is a suffix of the bundle dir name,
not a standalone path part) -- this made dsymutil run on the DWARF
file itself. macOS path also reuses a shipped dSYM when the .so is
already stripped, mirroring the Linux reuse path.
- Bump tools/python_api for the LBUG_SPLIT_DEBUG_SYMBOLS gate.

Depends on LadybugDB/ladybug-python#55 (submodule bump to
cafd946included here).Splits debug info out of the final repaired wheels so shipped wheels stay stripped while crash reports remain debuggable:

scripts/pip-package/split_debug_symbols.pyperforms the split and repacks each wheel with a correctedRECORD; the workflow uploads the extracted symbols as separate per-platform artifacts (manylinux_2_28-symbols-<arch>/<os>-symbols-<platform>).The splitter reuses an in-build
.debugwhen the binary is already stripped (covers the CMakePOST_BUILDpath) and regenerates from the final binary otherwise, so there is no double-strip hazard.
