llvm-locstats-17 - Man Page
calculate statistics on DWARF debug location
Synopsis
llvm-locstats [options] [filename]
Description
llvm-locstats works like a wrapper around llvm-dwarfdump. It parses llvm-dwarfdump statistics regarding debug location by pretty printing it in a more human readable way.
The line 0% shows the number and the percentage of DIEs with no location information, but the line 100% shows the information for DIEs where there is location information in all code section bytes (where the variable or parameter is in the scope). The line [50%,60%) shows the number and the percentage of DIEs where the location information is between 50 and 60 percentage of its scope covered.
Options
- --only-variables
calculate the location statistics only for local variables
- --only-formal-parameters
calculate the location statistics only for formal parameters
- --ignore-debug-entry-values
ignore the location statistics on locations containing the debug entry values DWARF operation
- --draw-plot
make histogram of location buckets generated (requires matplotlib)
- --compare
compare the debug location coverage on two files provided, and draw a plot showing the difference (requires matplotlib)
Exit Status
llvm-locstats returns 0 if the input file were parsed successfully. Otherwise, it returns 1.
Example 1
Pretty print the location coverage on the standard output.

Example 2
Generate a plot as an image file.
llvm-locstats --draw-plot file1.out

Example 3
Generate a plot as an image file showing the difference in the debug location coverage.
llvm-locstats --compare file1.out file1.withentryvals.out
