SYNOPSIS
--------
-:program:`llvm-symbolizer` [options]
+:program:`llvm-symbolizer` [*options*] [*addresses...*]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-:program:`llvm-symbolizer` reads object file names and addresses from standard
-input and prints corresponding source code locations to standard output.
-If object file is specified in command line, :program:`llvm-symbolizer`
-processes only addresses from standard input, the rest is output verbatim.
-This program uses debug info sections and symbol table in the object files.
+:program:`llvm-symbolizer` reads object file names and addresses from the
+command-line and prints corresponding source code locations to standard output.
-EXAMPLE
+If no address is specified on the command-line, it reads the addresses from
+standard input. If no object file is specified on the command-line, but
+addresses are, or if at any time an input value is not recognized, the input is
+simply echoed to the output.
+
+A positional argument or standard input value can be preceded by "DATA" or
+"CODE" to indicate that the address should be symbolized as data or executable
+code respectively. If neither is specified, "CODE" is assumed. DATA is
+symbolized as address and symbol size rather than line number.
+
+Object files can be specified together with the addresses either on standard
+input or as positional arguments on the command-line, following any "DATA" or
+"CODE" prefix.
+
+EXAMPLES
--------
+All of the following examples use the following two source files as input. They
+use a mixture of C-style and C++-style linkage to illustrate how these names are
+printed differently (see :option:`--demangle`).
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ // test.h
+ extern "C" inline int foz() {
+ return 1234;
+ }
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ // test.cpp
+ #include "test.h"
+ int bar=42;
+
+ int foo() {
+ return bar;
+ }
+
+ int baz() {
+ volatile int k = 42;
+ return foz() + k;
+ }
+
+ int main() {
+ return foo() + baz();
+ }
+
+These files are built as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ clang -g test.cpp -o test.elf
+ $ clang -g -O2 test.cpp -o inlined.elf
+
+Example 1 - addresses and object on command-line:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ llvm-symbolizer --obj=test.elf 0x4004d0 0x400490
+ foz
+ /tmp/test.h:1:0
+
+ baz()
+ /tmp/test.cpp:11:0
+
+Example 2 - addresses on standard input:
+

+
+OPTIONS
+-------
- Prefer function names stored in symbol table to function names
- in debug info sections. Defaults to true.
+.. option:: --adjust-vma <offset>
+
+ Add the specified offset to object file addresses when performing lookups.
+ This can be used to perform lookups as if the object were relocated by the
+ offset.
+
+.. option:: --basenames, -s
+
+ Strip directories when printing the file path.
.. _llvm-symbolizer-opt-C:
-.. option:: -demangle, -C
+.. option:: --demangle, -C
- Print demangled function names. Defaults to true.
+ Print demangled function names, if the names are mangled (e.g. the mangled
+ name `_Z3bazv` becomes `baz()`, whilst the non-mangled name `foz` is printed
+ as is). Defaults to true.
-.. option:: -no-demangle
+.. option:: --dwp <path>
- Don't print demangled function names.
+ Use the specified DWP file at ``<path>`` for any CUs that have split DWARF
+ debug data.
-.. _llvm-symbolizer-opt-i:
+.. option:: --fallback-debug-path <path>
-.. option:: -inlining, -inlines, -i
+ When a separate file contains debug data, and is referenced by a GNU debug
+ link section, use the specified path as a basis for locating the debug data if
+ it cannot be found relative to the object.
- If a source code location is in an inlined function, prints all the
- inlined frames. Defaults to true.
+.. _llvm-symbolizer-opt-f:
-.. option:: -default-arch
+.. option:: --functions [<none|short|linkage>], -f
- If a binary contains object files for multiple architectures (e.g. it is a
- Mach-O universal binary), symbolize the object file for a given architecture.
- You can also specify architecture by writing ``binary_name:arch_name`` in the
- input (see example above). If architecture is not specified in either way,
- address will not be symbolized. Defaults to empty string.
+ Specify the way function names are printed (omit function name, print short
+ function name, or print full linkage name, respectively). Defaults to
+ ``linkage``.
-.. option:: -dsym-hint <path/to/file.dSYM>
+.. option:: --help, -h
- (Darwin-only flag). If the debug info for a binary isn't present in the default
- location, look for the debug info at the .dSYM path provided via the
- ``-dsym-hint`` flag. This flag can be used multiple times.
+ Show help and usage for this command.
-.. option:: -print-address, -addresses, -a
+.. option:: --help-list
- Print address before the source code location. Defaults to false.
+ Show help and usage for this command without grouping the options into categories.
-.. option:: -pretty-print, -p
+.. _llvm-symbolizer-opt-i:
- Print human readable output. If ``-inlining`` is specified, enclosing scope is
- prefixed by (inlined by). Refer to listed examples.
+.. option:: --inlining, --inlines, -i
-.. option:: -basenames, -s
+ If a source code location is in an inlined function, prints all the inlined
+ frames. Defaults to true.
- Strip directories when printing the file path.
+.. option:: --no-demangle
-.. option:: -adjust-vma <offset>
+ Don't print demangled function names.
- Add the specified offset to object file addresses when performing lookups. This
- can be used to perform lookups as if the object were relocated by the offset.
+.. option:: --obj <path>, --exe, -e
+
+ Path to object file to be symbolized. If ``-`` is specified, read the object
+ directly from the standard input stream.
.. _llvm-symbolizer-opt-output-style:
-.. option:: -output-style <LLVM|GNU>
+.. option:: --output-style <LLVM|GNU>
Specify the preferred output style. Defaults to ``LLVM``. When the output
style is set to ``GNU``, the tool follows the style of GNU's **addr2line**.
* Does not add an empty line after the report for an address.
* Does not replace the name of an inlined function with the name of the
- topmost caller when inlined frames are not shown and ``-use-symbol-table``
+ topmost caller when inlined frames are not shown and :option:`--use-symbol-table`
is on.
