llvm-locstats - calculate statistics on DWARF debug location

SYNOPSIS

:program:`llvm-locstats` [options] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

:program:`llvm-locstats` works like a wrapper around :program:`llvm-dwarfdump`. It parses :program:`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

EXIT STATUS

:program:`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.
