NAME

llvm-objdump - LLVM’s object file dumper

SYNOPSIS

llvm-objdump [/commands/] [/options/] [/filenames…/]

DESCRIPTION

The llvm-objdump utility prints the contents of object files and final linked images named on the command line. If no file name is specified, llvm-objdump will attempt to read from a.out. If - is used as a file name, llvm-objdump will process a file on its standard input stream.

COMMANDS

At least one of the following commands are required, and some commands can be combined with other commands:

-a, –archive-headers
Display the information contained within an archive’s headers.
-d, –disassemble
Disassemble all text sections found in the input files.
-D, –disassemble-all
Disassemble all sections found in the input files.
–disassemble-symbols=<symbol1[,symbol2,…]>
Disassemble only the specified symbols. Takes demangled symbol names when –demangle is specified, otherwise takes mangled symbol names. Implies –disassemble.
–dwarf=<value>
Dump the specified DWARF debug sections. The supported values are:

frames - .debug_frame

-f, –file-headers
Display the contents of the overall file header.
–fault-map-section
Display the content of the fault map section.
-h, –headers, –section-headers
Display summaries of the headers for each section.
–help
Display usage information and exit. Does not stack with other commands.
-p, –private-headers
Display format-specific file headers.
-r, –reloc
Display the relocation entries in the file.
-R, –dynamic-reloc
Display the dynamic relocation entries in the file.
–raw-clang-ast
Dump the raw binary contents of the clang AST section.
-s, –full-contents
Display the contents of each section.
-t, –syms
Display the symbol table.
-T, –dynamic-syms
Display the contents of the dynamic symbol table.
-u, –unwind-info
Display the unwind info of the input(s).
-v, –version
Display the version of the llvm-objdump executable. Does not stack with other commands.
-x, –all-headers
Display all available header information. Equivalent to specifying –archive-headers, –file-headers, –private-headers, –reloc, –section-headers, and –syms.

OPTIONS

llvm-objdump supports the following options:

–adjust-vma=<offset>
Increase the displayed address in disassembly or section header printing by the specified offset.
–arch-name=<string>
Specify the target architecture when disassembling. Use –version for a list of available targets.
-C, –demangle
Demangle symbol names in the output.
–debug-vars=<format>
Print the locations (in registers or memory) of source-level variables alongside disassembly. format may be unicode or ascii, defaulting to unicode if omitted.
–debug-vars-indent=<width>
Distance to indent the source-level variable display, relative to the start of the disassembly. Defaults to 52 characters.
-j, –section=<section1[,section2,…]>
Perform commands on the specified sections only. For Mach-O use segment,section to specify the section name.
-l, –line-numbers
When disassembling, display source line numbers. Implies –disassemble.
-M, –disassembler-options=<opt1[,opt2,…]>
Pass target-specific disassembler options. Available options:
  • reg-names-std: ARM only (default). Print in ARM ’s instruction set documentation, with r13/r14/r15 replaced by sp/lr/pc.
  • reg-names-raw: ARM only. Use r followed by the register number.
  • no-aliases: AArch64 and RISC-V only. Print raw instruction mnemonic instead of pesudo instruction mnemonic.
  • numeric: RISC-V only. Print raw register names instead of ABI mnemonic. (e.g. print x1 instead of ra)
  • att: x86 only (default). Print in the AT&T syntax.
  • intel: x86 only. Print in the intel syntax.
–mcpu=<cpu-name>
Target a specific CPU type for disassembly. Specify –mcpu=help to display available CPUs.
–mattr=<a1,+a2,-a3,…>
Enable/disable target-specific attributes. Specify –mattr=help to display the available attributes.
–no-leading-addr
When disassembling, do not print leading addresses.
–no-print-imm-hex
Do not use hex format for immediate values in disassembly output (default).
–no-show-raw-insn
When disassembling, do not print the raw bytes of each instruction.
–prefix=<prefix>
When disassembling with the –source option, prepend prefix to absolute paths.
–prefix-strip=<level>
When disassembling with the –source option, strip out level initial directories from absolute paths. This option has no effect without –prefix.
–print-imm-hex
Use hex format when printing immediate values in disassembly output.
-S, –source
When disassembling, display source interleaved with the disassembly. Implies –disassemble.
–show-lma
Display the LMA column when dumping ELF section headers. Defaults to off unless any section has different VMA and LMAs.
–start-address=<address>
When disassembling, only disassemble from the specified address.

When printing relocations, only print the relocations patching offsets from at least address.

When printing symbols, only print symbols with a value of at least address.

–stop-address=<address>
When disassembling, only disassemble up to, but not including the specified address.

When printing relocations, only print the relocations patching offsets up to address.

When printing symbols, only print symbols with a value up to address.

–symbolize-operands
When disassembling, symbolize a branch target operand to print a label instead of a real address.

When printing a PC-relative global symbol reference, print it as an offset from the leading symbol.

Only works with an X86 linked image.

#+begin_quote

Example:
A non-symbolized branch instruction with a local target and pc-relative memory access like

#+begin_quote

        cmp eax, dword ptr [rip + 4112]
        jge 0x20117e <_start+0x25>

#+end_quote

might become

#+begin_quote

        <L0>:
          cmp eax, dword ptr <g>
          jge      <L0>

#+end_quote #+end_quote

–triple=<string>
Target triple to disassemble for, see –version for available targets.
-w, –wide
Ignored for compatibility with GNU objdump.
–x86-asm-syntax=<style>

Deprecated. When used with –disassemble, choose style of code to emit from X86 backend. Supported values are:

#+begin_quote

#+begin_quote

att
AT&T-style assembly
intel
Intel-style assembly

#+end_quote

The default disassembly style is att. #+end_quote

-z, –disassemble-zeroes
Do not skip blocks of zeroes when disassembling.
@<FILE>
Read command-line options and commands from response file <FILE>.
