LLVM-ADDR2LINE(1)

💖 LLVM-ADDR2LINE(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the LLVM corner of the manual, where we're about to make llvm-addr2line make sense. sit down, grab a strawberry, let's go 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

llvm-addr2line — a drop-in replacement for addr2line 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

llvm-addr2line [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no positional args, no drama, just options 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea: llvm-addr2line is literally an alias for the llvm-symbolizer(1) tool, except it comes with different defaults. the whole goal? to make it a genuine drop-in replacement for GNU's addr2line. no cap. 💅

here are some of those differences, bestie, and you will want to know them:

• llvm-addr2line reads all addresses as hexadecimal and just ignores an optional 0x prefix, whereas llvm-symbolizer tries to figure out the base from the literal's prefix and defaults to decimal when there's no prefix at all. so like… hex girlie behavior ✨
• llvm-addr2line defaults to not printing function names. use -f to turn that on 🔥
• llvm-addr2line defaults to not demangling function names. use -C to switch the demangling on 🧚
• llvm-addr2line defaults to not printing inlined frames. use -i to show inlined frames for a source code location in an inlined function 🌸
• llvm-addr2line uses --output-style=GNU by default 🎀
• llvm-addr2line parses options from the environment variable LLVM_ADDR2LINE_OPTS instead of from LLVM_SYMBOLIZER_OPTS 🦋

ngl the defaults are the whole personality here. if you came from GNU addr2line expecting those behaviors, you're gonna feel right at home. periodt.
