<h3>NAME</h3>

<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>
|
|
<tt>bugpoint [options] [input llvm ll/bc files] [LLVM passes] --args <program arguments>...</tt>

<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
|
|
|
|
The <tt>bugpoint</tt> tool is a generally useful tool for narrowing down
|
|
problems in LLVM tools and passes.<p>
|
|
|
|
<tt>bugpoint</tt> reads the specified list of .bc or .ll files specified on the
|
|
command-line and links them together. It then runs the specified LLVM passes on
|
|
the resultant bytecode file. If any of the passes crash, or if they produce an
|
|
LLVM module which is not verifiable, bugpoint enters "crash debugging mode".
|
|
Otherwise, <tt>bugpoint</tt> tries to run the resultant program with a code
|
|
generator. If the code generated program does not match the reference output,
|
|
it enters "miscompilation debugging mode".
|
|
|
|
<h4>Crash debugging mode</h4>
|
|
|
|
If a pass crashes, bugpoint will try to narrow down the list of passes and the
|
|
code to a more manageable amount. Using a sophisticated binary-search algorithm,
|
|
<tt>bugpoint</tt> pares down the list of passes to a minimum set.

<h3>OPTIONS</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>-args <arguments></tt>
|
|
<br>
|
|
All arguments specified after <tt>-args</tt> are passed into the
|
|
executed program when the program must be executed.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>-disable-(adce,dce,final-cleanup,simplifycfg)</tt>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<tt>bugpoint</tt> uses several passes internally for cleanup routines to
|
|
reduce the size of the program. If you're trying to find a bug in one
|
|
of these passes, <tt>bugpoint</tt> may crash. These options tell
|
|
<tt>bugpoint</tt> not use the specified passes.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li> <tt>-help</tt>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Print a summary of command line options.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li> <tt>-input <filename></tt>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Specify the contents of <stdin> when the program must be executed.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li> <tt>-load <plugin.so></tt>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Load the dynamic object plugin.so. This object should register new
|
|
optimization passes. Once loaded, the object will add new command line
|
|
options to enable various optimizations. To see the new complete list
|
|
of optimizations, use the -help and -load options together:
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>opt -load <plugin.so> -help</tt>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li> <tt>-output <filename></tt>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Specify a reference output for the <stdout> file stream.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li> <tt>-run-(lli|jit|llc|cbe)</tt>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Specify which code generator <tt>bugpoint</tt> should use to run the
|
|
program.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>EXIT STATUS</h3>
|
|
|
|
If <tt>bugpoint</tt> succeeds in finding a problem, it will exit with 0.
|
|
Otherwise, if an error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
