1 llvm-cxxmap - Mangled name remapping tool
2 =========================================
4 .. program:: llvm-cxxmap
9 :program:`llvm-cxxmap` [*options*] *symbol-file-1* *symbol-file-2*
14 The :program:`llvm-cxxmap` tool performs fuzzy matching of C++ mangled names,
15 based on a file describing name components that should be considered equivalent.
17 The symbol files should contain a list of C++ mangled names (one per line).
18 Blank lines and lines starting with ``#`` are ignored. The output is a list
19 of pairs of equivalent symbols, one per line, of the form
25 where ``<symbol-1>`` is a symbol from *symbol-file-1* and ``<symbol-2>`` is
26 a symbol from *symbol-file-2*. Mappings for which the two symbols are identical
32 .. program:: llvm-cxxmap
34 .. option:: -remapping-file=file, -r=file
36 Specify a file containing a list of equivalence rules that should be used
37 to determine whether two symbols are equivalent. Required.
38 See :ref:`remapping-file`.
40 .. option:: -output=file, -o=file
42 Specify a file to write the list of matched names to. If unspecified, the
43 list will be written to stdout.
45 .. option:: -Wambiguous
47 Produce a warning if there are multiple equivalent (but distinct) symbols in
50 .. option:: -Wincomplete
52 Produce a warning if *symbol-file-1* contains a symbol for which there is no
53 equivalent symbol in *symbol-file-2*.
60 The remapping file is a text file containing lines of the form
64 fragmentkind fragment1 fragment2
66 where ``fragmentkind`` is one of ``name``, ``type``, or ``encoding``,
67 indicating whether the following mangled name fragments are
68 <`name <http://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io/cxx-abi/abi.html#mangle.name>`_>s,
69 <`type <http://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io/cxx-abi/abi.html#mangle.type>`_>s, or
70 <`encoding <http://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io/cxx-abi/abi.html#mangle.encoding>`_>s,
72 Blank lines and lines starting with ``#`` are ignored.
74 Unmangled C names can be expressed as an ``encoding`` that is a (length-prefixed)
75 <`source-name <http://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io/cxx-abi/abi.html#mangle.source-name>`_>:
79 # C function "void foo_bar()" is remapped to C++ function "void foo::bar()".
80 encoding 7foo_bar _Z3foo3barv
82 For convenience, built-in <substitution>s such as ``St`` and ``Ss``
83 are accepted as <name>s (even though they technically are not <name>s).
85 For example, to specify that ``absl::string_view`` and ``std::string_view``
86 should be treated as equivalent, the following remapping file could be used:
90 # absl::string_view is considered equivalent to std::string_view
91 type N4absl11string_viewE St17basic_string_viewIcSt11char_traitsIcEE
93 # std:: might be std::__1:: in libc++ or std::__cxx11:: in libstdc++
99 Symbol remapping is currently only supported for C++ mangled names
100 following the Itanium C++ ABI mangling scheme. This covers all C++ targets
101 supported by Clang other than Windows targets.
