llvm-dwarfdump - dump and verify DWARF debug information ======================================================== .. program:: llvm-dwarfdump SYNOPSIS -------- :program:`llvm-dwarfdump` [*options*] [*filename ...*] DESCRIPTION ----------- :program:`llvm-dwarfdump` parses DWARF sections in object files, archives, and `.dSYM` bundles and prints their contents in human-readable form. Only the .debug_info section is printed unless one of the section-specific options or :option:`--all` is specified. If no input file is specified, `a.out` is used instead. If `-` is used as the input file, :program:`llvm-dwarfdump` reads the input from its standard input stream. OPTIONS ------- .. option:: -a, --all Dump all supported DWARF sections. .. option:: --arch= Dump DWARF debug information for the specified CPU architecture. Architectures may be specified by name or by number. This option can be specified multiple times, once for each desired architecture. All CPU architectures will be printed by default. .. option:: -c, --show-children Show a debug info entry's children when selectively printing with the `=` argument of :option:`--debug-info`, or options such as :option:`--find` or :option:`--name`. .. option:: --color Use colors in output. .. option:: -f , --find= Search for the exact text in the accelerator tables and print the matching debug information entries. When there is no accelerator tables or the name of the DIE you are looking for is not found in the accelerator tables, try using the slower but more complete :option:`--name` option. .. option:: -F, --show-form Show DWARF form types after the DWARF attribute types. .. option:: -h, --help Show help and usage for this command. .. option:: --help-list Show help and usage for this command without grouping the options into categories. .. option:: -i, --ignore-case Ignore case distinctions when using :option:`--name`. .. option:: -n , --name= Find and print all debug info entries whose name (`DW_AT_name` attribute) is . .. option:: --lookup=
Look up
in the debug information and print out the file, function, block, and line table details. .. option:: -o Redirect output to a file specified by , where `-` is the standard output stream. .. option:: -p, --show-parents Show a debug info entry's parents when selectively printing with the `=` argument of :option:`--debug-info`, or options such as :option:`--find` or :option:`--name`. .. option:: --parent-recurse-depth= When displaying debug info entry parents, only show them to a maximum depth of . .. option:: --quiet Use with :option:`--verify` to not emit to `STDOUT`. .. option:: -r , --recurse-depth= When displaying debug info entries, only show children to a maximum depth of . .. option:: --show-section-sizes Show the sizes of all debug sections, expressed in bytes. .. option:: --statistics Collect debug info quality metrics and print the results as machine-readable single-line JSON output. The output format is described in the section below (:ref:`stats-format`). .. option:: --summarize-types Abbreviate the description of type unit entries. .. option:: -x, --regex Treat any strings as regular expressions when searching with :option:`--name`. If :option:`--ignore-case` is also specified, the regular expression becomes case-insensitive. .. option:: -u, --uuid Show the UUID for each architecture. .. option:: --diff Dump the output in a format that is more friendly for comparing DWARF output from two different files. .. option:: -v, --verbose Display verbose information when dumping. This can help to debug DWARF issues. .. option:: --verify Verify the structure of the DWARF information by verifying the compile unit chains, DIE relationships graph, address ranges, and more. .. option:: --version Display the version of the tool. .. option:: --debug-abbrev, --debug-addr, --debug-aranges, --debug-cu-index, --debug-frame[=], --debug-gnu-pubnames, --debug-gnu-pubtypes, --debug-info [=], --debug-line [=], --debug-line-str, --debug-loc [=], --debug-loclists [=], --debug-macro, --debug-names, --debug-pubnames, --debug-pubtypes, --debug-ranges, --debug-rnglists, --debug-str, --debug-str-offsets, --debug-tu-index, --debug-types [=], --eh-frame [=], --gdb-index, --apple-names, --apple-types, --apple-namespaces, --apple-objc Dump the specified DWARF section by name. Only the `.debug_info` section is shown by default. Some entries support adding an `=` as a way to provide an optional offset of the exact entry to dump within the respective section. When an offset is provided, only the entry at that offset will be dumped, else the entire section will be dumped. .. option:: @ Read command-line options from ``. .. _stats-format: FORMAT OF STATISTICS OUTPUT --------------------------- The ::option:`--statistics` option generates single-line JSON output representing quality metrics of the processed debug info. These metrics are useful to compare changes between two compilers, particularly for judging the effect that a change to the compiler has on the debug info quality. The output is formatted as key-value pairs. The first pair contains a version number. The following naming scheme is used for the keys: - `variables` ==> local variables and parameters - `local vars` ==> local variables - `params` ==> formal parameters For aggregated values, the following keys are used: - `sum_of_all_variables(...)` ==> the sum applied to all variables - `#bytes` ==> the number of bytes - `#variables - entry values ...` ==> the number of variables excluding the entry values etc. EXIT STATUS ----------- :program:`llvm-dwarfdump` returns 0 if the input files were parsed and dumped successfully. Otherwise, it returns 1. SEE ALSO -------- :manpage:`dsymutil(1)`
