🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every single one, in order, no skipping, we don't do that here:

• -list — dumps you a whole list of the details of functions and variables ✨
• -demangle — dumps the output all demangled, so it's actually readable instead of cursed name-mangled soup 🙈
• -defined-only — only the defined symbols get dumped, nothing else invited to the party
• -print-value — spills the initial values of the variables 👑
• -name-sort — sorts the symbols alphabetically, so tidy
• -size-sort — sorts the symbols by size, biggest to littlest energy
• -reverse-sort — dumps the symbols in reverse order, chaos mode activated (but make it organised)
• -no-sort — dumps the symbols in the order they occur, raw and unfiltered
• -symbol= — dumps the details of one specific symbol, main character moment only
• -objects — dumps the details of the LTO objects 🧚
• -type-stats — dumps the statistics of tree types
• -tree-stats — dumps the statistics of trees 🌈
• -gimple-stats — dumps the statistics of gimple statements
• -dump-level= — for deciding the optimization level of body
• -dump-body= — dumps the specific gimple body
• -help — displays the dump tool help, the classic
