NAME

       llvm-symbolizer - convert addresses into source code locations

SYNOPSIS

       llvm-symbolizer [options] [addresses…]

DESCRIPTION

       llvm-symbolizer  reads  input  names  and  addresses  from  the  command-line  and  prints
       corresponding source code locations  to  standard  output.  It  can  also  symbolize  logs
       containing Symbolizer Markup via --filter-markup.

       If  no  address  is  specified  on  the command-line, it reads the addresses from standard
       input. If no input name 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.

       Input  names  can  be specified together with the addresses either on standard input or as
       positional arguments on the command-line. By  default,  input  names  are  interpreted  as
       object  file  paths. However, prefixing a name with BUILDID: states that it is a hex build
       ID rather than a path. This will look up the corresponding debug binary. For  consistency,
       prefixing  a  name  with  FILE:  explicitly  states  that  it  is an object file path (the
       default).

       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.

       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" "FILE:inlined.elf 0x400480"
          baz()
          /tmp/test.cpp:11:0

          foo()
          /tmp/test.cpp:8:10

          $ cat addr2.txt
          FILE:test.elf 0x4004a0
          inlined.elf 0x400480

          $ llvm-symbolizer < addr2.txt
          main
          /tmp/test.cpp:15:0

          foo()
          /tmp/test.cpp:8:10

       Example 4 - BUILDID and FILE prefixes:

          $ llvm-symbolizer "FILE:test.elf 0x400490" "DATA BUILDID:123456789abcdef 0x601028"
          baz()
          /tmp/test.cpp:11:0

          bar
          6295592 4

          $ cat addr3.txt
          FILE:test.elf 0x400490
          DATA BUILDID:123456789abcdef 0x601028

          $ llvm-symbolizer < addr3.txt
          baz()
          /tmp/test.cpp:11:0

          bar
          6295592 4

       Example 5 - CODE and DATA prefixes:

          $ llvm-symbolizer --obj=test.elf "CODE 0x400490" "DATA 0x601028"
          baz()
          /tmp/test.cpp:11:0

          bar
          6295592 4

          $ cat addr4.txt
          CODE test.elf 0x4004a0
          DATA inlined.elf 0x601028

          $ llvm-symbolizer < addr4.txt
          main
          /tmp/test.cpp:15:0

          bar
          6295592 4

       Example 6 - 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.

       --build-id
              Look  up  the  object  using the given build ID, specified as a hexadecimal string.
              Mutually exclusive with --obj.

       --color [=<always|auto|never>]
              Specify whether to use color in  --filter-markup  mode.  Defaults  to  auto,  which
              detects  whether  standard  output  supports  color.  Specifying  --color  alone is
              equivalent to --color=always.

       --debug-file-directory <path>
              Provide a path to a directory with a .build-id subdirectory  to  search  for  debug
              information for stripped binaries. Multiple instances of this argument are searched
              in the order given.

       --debuginfod, --no-debuginfod
              Whether or not to try debuginfod lookups  for  debug  binaries.  Unless  specified,
              debuginfod  is  only  enabled  if libcurl was compiled in (LLVM_ENABLE_CURL) and at
              least one server URL was provided by the environment variable DEBUGINFOD_URLS.

       --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.

       --filter-markup
              Reads from standard input, converts contained Symbolizer Markup into human-readable
              form,  and prints the results to standard output. The following markup elements are
              not yet supported:

              • {{{hexdict}}}{{{dumpfile}}}

              The {{{bt}}} backtrace element reports frames using the following syntax:

              #<number>[.<inline>] <address> <function>  <file>:<line>:<col>  (<module>+<relative
              address>)

              <inline>  provides  frame numbers for calls inlined into the caller coresponding to
              <number>. The inlined call numbers start at 1 and increase from callee to caller.

              <address> is an address inside the call instruction to the function.   The  address
              may  not  be the start of the instruction.  <relative address> is the corresponding
              virtual offset in the <module> loaded at that address.

       --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. Mutually exclusive with --build-id.

       --output-style <LLVM|GNU|JSON>
              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:

              • Does not print the column of a source code location.

              • 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.

              • Prints 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.

              JSON style provides a machine readable output in JSON. If addresses are
                     supplied  via stdin, the output JSON will be a series of individual objects.
                     Otherwise, all results will be contained in a single array.

              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.
