llvm-pdbutil-14 - Man Page

IMPORTANT:

The pretty subcommand is built on the Windows DIA SDK, and as such is not supported on non-Windows platforms.

USAGE: llvm-pdbutil pretty [options] <input PDB file>

The pretty subcommand displays a very high level representation of your program's debug info.  Since it is built on the Windows DIA SDK which is the standard API that Windows tools and debuggers query debug information, it presents a more authoritative view of how a debugger is going to interpret your debug information than a mode which displays low-level CodeView records.

NOTE:

exclude filters take priority over include filters.  So if a filter matches both an include and an exclude rule, then it is excluded.

-exclude-compilands=<string>

When dumping compilands, compiland source-file contributions, or per-compiland symbols, this option instructs llvm-pdbutil to omit any compilands that match the specified regular expression.

USAGE: llvm-pdbutil dump [options] <input PDB file>

The dump subcommand displays low level information about the structure of a PDB file.  It is used heavily by LLVM's testing infrastructure, but can also be used for PDB forensics.  It serves a role similar to that of Microsoft's cvdump tool.

NOTE:

-streams

dump a summary of all of the streams in the PDB file.

-stream-blocks

In conjunction with -streams, add information to the output about what blocks the specified stream occupies.

-summary

Dump MSF and PDB header information.

-modi=<uint>

For all options that dump information from each module/compiland, limit to the specified module.

-files

Dump the source files that contribute to each displayed module.

-il

Dump inlinee line information (DEBUG_S_INLINEELINES CodeView subsection)

-l

Dump line information (DEBUG_S_LINES CodeView subsection)

-modules

Dump compiland information

-xme

Dump cross module exports (DEBUG_S_CROSSSCOPEEXPORTS CodeView subsection)

-xmi

Dump cross module imports (DEBUG_S_CROSSSCOPEIMPORTS CodeView subsection)

-globals

dump global symbol records

-global-extras

dump additional information about the globals, such as hash buckets and hash values.

-publics

dump public symbol records

-public-extras

dump additional information about the publics, such as hash buckets and hash values.

-symbols

dump symbols (functions, variables, etc) for each module dumped.

-sym-data

For each symbol record dumped as a result of the -symbols option, display the full bytes of the record in binary as well.

-types

Dump CodeView type records from TPI stream

-type-extras

Dump additional information from the TPI stream, such as hashes and the type index offsets array.

-type-data

For each type record dumped, display the full bytes of the record in binary as well.

-type-index=<uint>

Only dump types with the specified type index.

-ids

Dump CodeView type records from IPI stream.

-id-extras

Dump additional information from the IPI stream, such as hashes and the type index offsets array.

-id-data

For each ID record dumped, display the full bytes of the record in binary as well.

-id-index=<uint>

only dump ID records with the specified hexadecimal type index.

-dependents

When used in conjunction with -type-index or -id-index, dumps the entire dependency graph for the specified index instead of just the single record with the specified index.  For example, if type index 0x4000 is a function whose return type has index 0x3000, and you specify -dependents=0x4000, then this would dump both records (as well as any other dependents in the tree).

-all

Implies most other options.

-section-contribs

Dump section contributions.

-section-headers

Dump image section headers.

-section-map

Dump section map.

-string-table

Dump PDB string table.

USAGE: llvm-pdbutil bytes [options] <input PDB file>

Like the dump subcommand, the bytes subcommand displays low level information about the structure of a PDB file, but it is used for even deeper forensics.  The bytes subcommand finds various structures in a PDB file based on the command line options specified, and dumps them in hex.  Someone working on support for emitting PDBs would use this heavily, for example, to compare one PDB against another PDB to ensure byte-for-byte compatibility.  It is not enough to simply compare the bytes of an entire file, or an entire stream because it's perfectly fine for the same structure to exist at different locations in two different PDBs, and "finding" the structure is half the battle.

-block-range=<start[-end]>

Dump binary data from specified range of MSF file blocks.

-byte-range=<start[-end]>

Dump binary data from specified range of bytes in the file.

-fpm

Dump the MSF free page map.

-stream-data=<string>

Dump binary data from the specified streams.  Format is SN[:Start][@Size]. For example, -stream-data=7:3@12 dumps 12 bytes from stream 7, starting at offset 3 in the stream.

-name-map

-ec

Dump the edit and continue map substream of the DBI stream.

-files

Dump the file info substream of the DBI stream.

-modi

Dump the modi substream of the DBI stream.

-sc

-sm

Dump the section map from the DBI stream.

-type-server

Dump the type server map from the DBI stream.

-mod=<uint>

Limit all options in this category to the specified module index.  By default, options in this category will dump bytes from all modules.

-chunks

Dump the bytes of each module's C13 debug subsection.

-split-chunks

When specified with -chunks, split the C13 debug subsection into a separate chunk for each subsection type, and dump them separately.

-syms

Dump the symbol record substream from each module.

-id=<uint>

Dump the record from the IPI stream with the given type index.

-type=<uint>

Dump the record from the TPI stream with the given type index.
