=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
llvm-bcanalyzer - LLVM bitcode analyzer
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<llvm-bcanalyzer> [I<options>] [F<filename>]
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<llvm-bcanalyzer> command is a small utility for analyzing bitcode files.
|
|
The tool reads a bitcode file (such as generated with the B<llvm-as> tool) and
|
|
produces a statistical report on the contents of the bitcode file. The tool
|
|
can also dump a low level but human readable version of the bitcode file.
|
|
This tool is probably not of much interest or utility except for those working
|
|
directly with the bitcode file format. Most LLVM users can just ignore
|
|
this tool.
|
|
|
|
If F<filename> is omitted or is C<->, then B<llvm-bcanalyzer> reads its input
|
|
from standard input. This is useful for combining the tool into a pipeline.
|
|
Output is written to the standard output.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item B<-nodetails>
|
|
|
|
Causes B<llvm-bcanalyzer> to abbreviate its output by writing out only a module
|
|
level summary. The details for individual functions are not displayed.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-dump>
|
|
|
|
Causes B<llvm-bcanalyzer> to dump the bitcode in a human readable format. This
|
|
format is significantly different from LLVM assembly and provides details about
|
|
the encoding of the bitcode file.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-verify>
|
|
|
|
Causes B<llvm-bcanalyzer> to verify the module produced by reading the
|
|
bitcode. This ensures that the statistics generated are based on a consistent
|
|
module.
|
|
|
|
=item B<--help>
|
|
|
|
Print a summary of command line options.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXIT STATUS
|
|
|
|
If B<llvm-bcanalyzer> succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
|
|
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value, usually 1.
|
|
|
|
