💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

lto-dump is the little tool you run alongside GCC to dump link time optimization object files. it's giving "let me see inside the build" energy and honestly? iconic 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -list — dumps you the whole list of details for functions and variables. the receipts, basically 🧚
  • -demangle — dumps the output in demangled form. because raw mangled names are lowkey a jumpscare 😭
  • -defined-only — dumps only the defined symbols. if it's not defined, it's not invited to the party 🙈
  • -print-value — dumps the initial values of the variables. the origin story, fr fr ✨
  • -name-sort — sorts the symbols alphabetically. cute, organised, main character behaviour 👑
  • -size-sort — sorts the symbols according to size. big ones, little ones, all valid 🌈
  • -reverse-sort — dumps the symbols in reverse order. back it up, flip it, reverse it 💜
  • -no-sort — dumps the symbols in order of occurrence. no sorting, just vibes ⭐
  • -symbol= — dumps the details of one specific symbol. pick your fave, give them a spotlight 🌸
  • -objects — dumps the details of LTO objects. the whole cast, assembled 🎀
  • -type-stats — dumps the statistics of tree types. numbers, but make them tree-flavoured 🌳
  • -tree-stats — dumps the statistics of trees. more tree math, we stay obsessed 🦋
  • -gimple-stats — dumps the statistics of gimple statements. gimple girlies rise 💅
  • -dump-level= — for deciding the optimization level of body. you tell it, it decides 😌
  • -dump-body= — dumps the specific gimple body. one body, fully unhinged, fully revealed 🔥
  • -help — displays the dump tool help. when in doubt, ask the tool itself 🫶
ngl bestie, every one of these flags is doing exactly what it says and nothing extra. no hidden lore, no secret defaults. periodt.
