1llvm-cxxmap - Mangled name remapping tool

6SYNOPSIS
7--------

9:program:`llvm-cxxmap` [*options*] *symbol-file-1* *symbol-file-2*
10
11DESCRIPTION
12-----------
13
14The :program:`llvm-cxxmap` tool performs fuzzy matching of C++ mangled names,
15based on a file describing name components that should be considered equivalent.
16
17The symbol files should contain a list of C++ mangled names (one per line).
18Blank lines and lines starting with ``#`` are ignored. The output is a list
19of pairs of equivalent symbols, one per line, of the form
20
21.. code-block:: none
22
23  <symbol-1> <symbol-2>
24
25where ``<symbol-1>`` is a symbol from *symbol-file-1* and ``<symbol-2>`` is
26a symbol from *symbol-file-2*. Mappings for which the two symbols are identical
27are omitted.
28
29OPTIONS
30-------
31
32.. program:: llvm-cxxmap
33
34.. option:: -remapping-file=file, -r=file
35
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`.
39
40.. option:: -output=file, -o=file
41
42 Specify a file to write the list of matched names to. If unspecified, the
43 list will be written to stdout.
44
45.. option:: -Wambiguous
46
47 Produce a warning if there are multiple equivalent (but distinct) symbols in
48 *symbol-file-2*.
49
50.. option:: -Wincomplete
51
52 Produce a warning if *symbol-file-1* contains a symbol for which there is no
53 equivalent symbol in *symbol-file-2*.

57REMAPPING FILE
58--------------
59
60The remapping file is a text file containing lines of the form
61
62.. code-block:: none
63
64  fragmentkind fragment1 fragment2
65
66where ``fragmentkind`` is one of ``name``, ``type``, or ``encoding``,
67indicating 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,
71respectively.
72Blank lines and lines starting with ``#`` are ignored.
73
74For convenience, built-in <substitution>s such as ``St`` and ``Ss``
75are accepted as <name>s (even though they technically are not <name>s).
76
77For example, to specify that ``absl::string_view`` and ``std::string_view``
78should be treated as equivalent, the following remapping file could be used:
79
80.. code-block:: none
81
82  # absl::string_view is considered equivalent to std::string_view
83  type N4absl11string_viewE St17basic_string_viewIcSt11char_traitsIcEE
84
85  # std:: might be std::__1:: in libc++ or std::__cxx11:: in libstdc++
86  name St St3__1
87  name St St7__cxx11
88
89.. note::
90
91  Symbol remapping is currently only supported for C++ mangled names
92  following the Itanium C++ ABI mangling scheme. This covers all C++ targets
93  supported by Clang other than Windows targets.
