NAME

6       llvm-locstats - calculate statistics on DWARF debug location
7

SYNOPSIS

9       llvm-locstats [options] [filename]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       llvm-locstats  works  like  a wrapper around llvm-dwarfdump.  It parses
13       llvm-dwarfdump statistics regarding debug location by  pretty  printing
14       it in a more human readable way.
15
16       The  line  0% shows the number and the percentage of DIEs with no loca‐
17       tion information, but the line 100%  shows  the  information  for  DIEs
18       where  there  is  location information in all code section bytes (where
19       the variable or parameter is in the scope). The  line  [50%,60%)  shows
20       the number and the percentage of DIEs where the location information is
21       between 50 and 60 percentage of its scope covered.
22

OPTIONS

24       --only-variables
25              calculate the location statistics only for local variables
26
27       --only-formal-parameters
28              calculate the location statistics only for formal parameters
29
30       --ignore-debug-entry-values
31              ignore the location statistics on locations containing the debug
32              entry values DWARF operation
33
34       --draw-plot
35              make  histogram  of  location  buckets  generated (requires mat‐
36              plotlib)
37
38       --compare
39              compare the debug location coverage on two files  provided,  and
40              draw a plot showing the difference (requires matplotlib)
41

EXIT STATUS

43       llvm-locstats  returns  0  if  the input file were parsed successfully.
44       Otherwise, it returns 1.
45

EXAMPLE 1

47       Pretty print the location coverage on the standard output.
