LLVM Binutils BoF 2019 EuroLLVM Developers' Meeting James Henderson (SN Systems) Jordan Rupprecht (Google)
Introduction • LLVM binary utilities (aka binutils) include: • llvm-readobj/llvm-readelf • llvm-objdump • llvm-objcopy • llvm-cxxfilt • etc. • Originally used in testing LLVM components: • Approximately 1715 tests in core LLVM (excluding those in the test/tools directory). • More in clang and lld. • Now being used more widely. • See e.g. Jordan’s lightning talk earlier today.
Recent Work • Bug count: • 70 open (170 total) in llvm-ar, llvm-c++filt, llvm-dwarfdump, llvm-nm, llvm-objcopy/strip, llvm- objdump, llvm-ranlib, llvm-readobj, llvm-size, llvm-symbolizer. • 81 resolved between January 2017 and end of March 2019. • GSOC 2018 project by Paul Semel. • https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2018/projects/5171359936151552/ • Added features to improve compatibility of LLVM tools with GNU. • llvm-objcopy newly added in summer 2017, gained Mach-O and COFF support in the last 6 months.
Recent Work (2) Commits in tools/<tool> Jan 2017 – March 2019 Tool llvm-ar 44 llvm-cxxfilt 16 llvm-dwarfdump 25 llvm-nm 49 llvm-objcopy 288 llvm-objdump 173 llvm-readobj 277 llvm-size 12 llvm-strings 8 llvm-symbolizer 28 Total 920 Does not include commits in libraries (e.g. DebugInfo, Object, Symbolizer etc).
Command-line Compatibility • Tools should be “drop -in replacements ” with GNU tools. • Does anybody disagree? • What do we mean by this? • Only switches that are widely used are identical? • All switches accepted with the same syntax? • All switches are semantically identical? • Something else? • Is it okay to break compatibility with previous LLVM releases? • We did this for llvm-readelf, but now llvm-readobj and llvm-readelf aren’t directly compatible…
Output Compatibility • How different can the LLVM tool output be to GNU? • E.g. should we support parsers that parse GNU output? • Should we aim to have multi-mode outputs for everything? • See llvm-readobj --elf-output-style={LLVM|GNU} • Is it okay for our output to change between releases?
Future Goals • Any requests for new features beyond existing GNU features? • For example turning llvm-objcopy into a library. • One binary tool to rule them all? • Any new switches? • New output formats? • Anything else? • GSOC 2019 proposal for further work.
Any Other Business • Does anybody have anything else they want to bring up? • What do people want done sooner? • Round table 2pm tomorrow to continue the discussion.
