LLVM-SYMBOLIZER(1) LLVM LLVM-SYMBOLIZER(1)
NAME
llvm-symbolizer - convert addresses into source code locations
SYNOPSIS
llvm-symbolizer [options] [addresses...]
DESCRIPTION
llvm-symbolizer reads object file names and addresses from the
command-line and prints corresponding source code locations to standard
output.
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.
llvm-symbolizer parses options from the environment variable
LLVM_SYMBOLIZER_OPTS after parsing options from the command line.
LLVM_SYMBOLIZER_OPTS is primarily useful for supplementing the
command-line options when llvm-symbolizer is invoked by another program
or runtime.
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 --demangle).
// test.h
extern "C" inline int foz() {
return 1234;
}
// 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:
$ clang -g test.cpp -o test.elf
$ clang -g -O2 test.cpp -o inlined.elf
Example 1 - addresses and object on command-line:
$ 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:
$ cat addr.txt
0x4004a0
0x400490
0x4004d0
$ llvm-symbolizer --obj=test.elf < addr.txt
main
/tmp/test.cpp:15:0
baz()
/tmp/test.cpp:11:0
foz
/tmp/./test.h:1:0
Example 3 - object specified with address:
$ llvm-symbolizer "test.elf 0x400490" "inlined.elf 0x400480"
baz()
/tmp/test.cpp:11:0
foo()
/tmp/test.cpp:8:10
$ cat addr2.txt
test.elf 0x4004a0
inlined.elf 0x400480
$ llvm-symbolizer < addr2.txt
main
/tmp/test.cpp:15:0
foo()
/tmp/test.cpp:8:10
Example 4 - CODE and DATA prefixes:
$ llvm-symbolizer --obj=test.elf "CODE 0x400490" "DATA 0x601028"
baz()
/tmp/test.cpp:11:0
bar
6295592 4
$ cat addr3.txt
CODE test.elf 0x4004a0
DATA inlined.elf 0x601028
$ llvm-symbolizer < addr3.txt
main
/tmp/test.cpp:15:0
bar
6295592 4
Example 5 - path-style options:
This example uses the same source file as above, but the source file's
full path is /tmp/foo/test.cpp and is compiled as follows. The first
case shows the default absolute path, the second --basenames, and the
third shows --relativenames.
$ pwd
/tmp
$ clang -g foo/test.cpp -o test.elf
$ llvm-symbolizer --obj=test.elf 0x4004a0
main
/tmp/foo/test.cpp:15:0
$ llvm-symbolizer --obj=test.elf 0x4004a0 --basenames
main
test.cpp:15:0
$ llvm-symbolizer --obj=test.elf 0x4004a0 --relativenames
main
foo/test.cpp:15:0
OPTIONS
--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.
--basenames, -s
Print just the file's name without any directories, instead of
the absolute path.
--demangle, -C
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.
--dwp <path>
Use the specified DWP file at <path> for any CUs that have split
DWARF debug data.
--fallback-debug-path <path>
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.
--functions [=<none|short|linkage>], -f
Specify the way function names are printed (omit function name,
print short function name, or print full linkage name,
respectively). Defaults to linkage.
--help, -h
Show help and usage for this command.
--inlining, --inlines, -i
If a source code location is in an inlined function, prints all
the inlined frames. This is the default.
--no-inlines
Don't print inlined frames.
--no-demangle
Don't print demangled function names.
--obj <path>, --exe, -e
Path to object file to be symbolized. If - is specified, read
the object directly from the standard input stream.
--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. The differences from the LLVM style are:
•oes not print the column of a source code location.
•oes not add an empty line after the report for an address.
•oes 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 is on.
•rints an address's debug-data discriminator when it is
non-zero. One way to produce discriminators is to compile with
clang's -fdebug-info-for-profiling.

10 : volatile int k = 42;
11 >: return foz() + k;
12 : }
--relativenames
Print the file's path relative to the compilation directory,
instead of the absolute path. If the command-line to the
compiler included the full path, this will be the same as the
default.
--use-symbol-table
Prefer function names stored in symbol table to function names
in debug info sections. Defaults to true.
--verbose
Print verbose line and column information.
$ llvm-symbolizer --obj=inlined.elf --verbose 0x4004be
baz()
Filename: /tmp/test.cpp
Function start line: 9
Line: 11
Column: 18
main
Filename: /tmp/test.cpp
Function start line: 14
Line: 15
Column: 0
--version, -v
Print version information for the tool.
@<FILE>
Read command-line options from response file <FILE>.
WINDOWS/PDB SPECIFIC OPTIONS
--dia Use the Windows DIA SDK for symbolization. If the DIA SDK is not
found, llvm-symbolizer will fall back to the native
implementation.
MACH-O SPECIFIC OPTIONS
--default-arch <arch>
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 the
architecture by writing binary_name:arch_name in the input (see
example below). If the architecture is not specified in either
way, the address will not be symbolized. Defaults to empty
string.
$ cat addr.txt
/tmp/mach_universal_binary:i386 0x1f84
/tmp/mach_universal_binary:x86_64 0x100000f24
$ llvm-symbolizer < addr.txt
_main
/tmp/source_i386.cc:8
_main
/tmp/source_x86_64.cc:8
--dsym-hint <path/to/file.dSYM>
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
this option. This flag can be used multiple times.
EXIT STATUS
llvm-symbolizer returns 0. Other exit codes imply an internal program
error.
