| 192 | happening (for example inlining, basic block reordering/merging/cleanup, |

Bill Wendling | 48839d9 | 2009-05-17 05:52:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 203 | "<tt>-O0 -g</tt>" and get full debug information, allowing you to arbitrarily |
| 204 | modify the program as it executes from a debugger. Compiling a program with |
| 205 | "<tt>-O3 -g</tt>" gives you full debug information that is always available |
| 206 | and accurate for reading (e.g., you get accurate stack traces despite tail |
| 207 | call elimination and inlining), but you might lose the ability to modify the |
| 208 | program and call functions where were optimized out of the program, or |
| 209 | inlined away completely.</p> |

| 237 | <p>LLVM debugging information has been carefully designed to make it possible |
Bill Wendling | 48839d9 | 2009-05-17 05:52:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 238 | for the optimizer to optimize the program and debugging information without |
| 239 | necessarily having to know anything about debugging information. In |
John Criswell | b34500f | 2010-03-17 15:01:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 240 | particular, the use of metadata avoids duplicated debugging information from |
Devang Patel | e4b2756 | 2009-08-28 23:24:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 241 | the beginning, and the global dead code elimination pass automatically |
| 242 | deletes debugging information for a function if it decides to delete the |
| 243 | function. </p> |
Chris Lattner | bdfb339 | 2004-01-05 05:06:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 244 | |
| 245 | <p>To do this, most of the debugging information (descriptors for types, |
Bill Wendling | 48839d9 | 2009-05-17 05:52:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 246 | variables, functions, source files, etc) is inserted by the language |

Bill Wendling | 48839d9 | 2009-05-17 05:52:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 250 | debugging information representation (e.g. DWARF/Stabs/etc). It uses a |
Devang Patel | e4b2756 | 2009-08-28 23:24:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 251 | generic pass to decode the information that represents variables, types, |
| 252 | functions, namespaces, etc: this allows for arbitrary source-language |
| 253 | semantics and type-systems to be used, as long as there is a module |
| 254 | written for the target debugger to interpret the information. </p> |

Bill Wendling | 48839d9 | 2009-05-17 05:52:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 257 | assumptions about the source-level language being debugged, though it keeps |
| 258 | these to a minimum. The only common features that the LLVM debugger assumes |

Bill Wendling | 48839d9 | 2009-05-17 05:52:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 281 | objects to start in a canonical format, but the descriptors can include |
| 282 | additional information appended at the end that is source-language |
| 283 | specific. All LLVM debugging information is versioned, allowing backwards |
