6 llvm-symbolizer - convert addresses into source code locations
7
9 llvm-symbolizer [options] [addresses...]
10
12 llvm-symbolizer reads object file names and addresses from the com‐
13 mand-line and prints corresponding source code locations to standard
14 output.
15 If no address is specified on the command-line, it reads the addresses
17 from standard input. If no object file is specified on the com‐
18 mand-line, but addresses are, or if at any time an input value is not
19 recognized, the input is simply echoed to the output.
20 A positional argument or standard input value can be preceded by "DATA"
22 or "CODE" to indicate that the address should be symbolized as data or
23 executable code respectively. If neither is specified, "CODE" is
24 assumed. DATA is symbolized as address and symbol size rather than line
25 number.
26 Object files can be specified together with the addresses either on
28 standard input or as positional arguments on the command-line, follow‐
29 ing any "DATA" or "CODE" prefix.
30 llvm-symbolizer parses options from the environment variable LLVM_SYM‐
32 BOLIZER_OPTS after parsing options from the command line. LLVM_SYMBOL‐
33 IZER_OPTS is primarily useful for supplementing the command-line
34 options when llvm-symbolizer is invoked by another program or runtime.

37 All of the following examples use the following two source files as
38 input. They use a mixture of C-style and C++-style linkage to illus‐
39 trate how these names are printed differently (see --demangle).
40 // test.h
42 extern "C" inline int foz() {
43 return 1234;
44 }
45 // test.cpp
47 #include "test.h"
48 int bar=42;
49 int foo() {
51 return bar;
52 }
53 int baz() {
55 volatile int k = 42;
56 return foz() + k;
57 }
58 int main() {
60 return foo() + baz();
61 }
62 These files are built as follows:
64 $ clang -g test.cpp -o test.elf
66 $ clang -g -O2 test.cpp -o inlined.elf
67 Example 1 - addresses and object on command-line:
69 $ llvm-symbolizer --obj=test.elf 0x4004d0 0x400490
71 foz
72 /tmp/test.h:1:0
73 baz()
75 /tmp/test.cpp:11:0
76 Example 2 - addresses on standard input:
78 $ cat addr.txt
80 0x4004a0
81 0x400490
82 0x4004d0
83 $ llvm-symbolizer --obj=test.elf < addr.txt
84 main
85 /tmp/test.cpp:15:0
86 baz()
88 /tmp/test.cpp:11:0
89 foz
91 /tmp/./test.h:1:0
92 Example 3 - object specified with address:
94 $ llvm-symbolizer "test.elf 0x400490" "inlined.elf 0x400480"
96 baz()
97 /tmp/test.cpp:11:0
98 foo()
100 /tmp/test.cpp:8:10
101 $ cat addr2.txt
103 test.elf 0x4004a0
104 inlined.elf 0x400480
105 $ llvm-symbolizer < addr2.txt
107 main
108 /tmp/test.cpp:15:0
109 foo()
111 /tmp/test.cpp:8:10
112 Example 4 - CODE and DATA prefixes:
114 $ llvm-symbolizer --obj=test.elf "CODE 0x400490" "DATA 0x601028"
116 baz()
117 /tmp/test.cpp:11:0
118 bar
120 6295592 4
121 $ cat addr3.txt
123 CODE test.elf 0x4004a0
124 DATA inlined.elf 0x601028
125 $ llvm-symbolizer < addr3.txt
127 main
128 /tmp/test.cpp:15:0
129 bar
131 6295592 4
132
134 --adjust-vma <offset>
135 Add the specified offset to object file addresses when perform‐
136 ing lookups. This can be used to perform lookups as if the
137 object were relocated by the offset.
138 --basenames, -s
140 Strip directories when printing the file path.
141 --demangle, -C
143 Print demangled function names, if the names are mangled (e.g.
144 the mangled name _Z3bazv becomes baz(), whilst the non-mangled
145 name foz is printed as is). Defaults to true.
146 --dwp <path>
148 Use the specified DWP file at <path> for any CUs that have split
149 DWARF debug data.
150 --fallback-debug-path <path>
152 When a separate file contains debug data, and is referenced by a
153 GNU debug link section, use the specified path as a basis for
154 locating the debug data if it cannot be found relative to the
155 object.
156 --functions [<none|short|linkage>], -f
158 Specify the way function names are printed (omit function name,
159 print short function name, or print full linkage name, respec‐
160 tively). Defaults to linkage.
161 --help, -h
163 Show help and usage for this command.
164 --help-list
166 Show help and usage for this command without grouping the
167 options into categories.
168 --inlining, --inlines, -i
170 If a source code location is in an inlined function, prints all
171 the inlined frames. Defaults to true.
172 --no-demangle
174 Don't print demangled function names.
175 --obj <path>, --exe, -e
177 Path to object file to be symbolized. If - is specified, read
178 the object directly from the standard input stream.
179 --output-style <LLVM|GNU>
181 Specify the preferred output style. Defaults to LLVM. When the
182 output style is set to GNU, the tool follows the style of GNU's
183 addr2line. The differences from the LLVM style are:
184 · Does not print the column of a source code location.
186 · Does not add an empty line after the report for an address.
188 · Does not replace the name of an inlined function with the name
190 of the topmost caller when inlined frames are not shown and
191 --use-symbol-table is on.

243 in debug info sections. Defaults to true.

262 @<FILE>
264 Read command-line options from response file <FILE>.
265
267 --default-arch <arch>
268 If a binary contains object files for multiple architectures
269 (e.g. it is a Mach-O universal binary), symbolize the object
270 file for a given architecture. You can also specify the archi‐
271 tecture by writing binary_name:arch_name in the input (see exam‐
272 ple below). If the architecture is not specified in either way,
273 the address will not be symbolized. Defaults to empty string.
274 $ cat addr.txt
276 /tmp/mach_universal_binary:i386 0x1f84
277 /tmp/mach_universal_binary:x86_64 0x100000f24

282 _main
284 /tmp/source_x86_64.cc:8
285 --dsym-hint <path/to/file.dSYM>
287 If the debug info for a binary isn't present in the default
288 location, look for the debug info at the .dSYM path provided via
289 this option. This flag can be used multiple times.
290
292 llvm-symbolizer returns 0. Other exit codes imply an internal program
293 error.
