1llvm-profdata - Profile data tool 2================================= 3 4SYNOPSIS 5-------- 6 7:program:`llvm-profdata` *command* [*args...*] 8 9DESCRIPTION 10----------- 11 12The :program:`llvm-profdata` tool is a small utility for working with profile 13data files. 14 15COMMANDS 16-------- 17 18* :ref:`merge <profdata-merge>` 19* :ref:`show <profdata-show>` 20 21.. program:: llvm-profdata merge 22 23.. _profdata-merge: 24 25MERGE 26----- 27 28SYNOPSIS 29^^^^^^^^ 30 31:program:`llvm-profdata merge` [*options*] [*filename...*] 32 33DESCRIPTION 34^^^^^^^^^^^ 35 36:program:`llvm-profdata merge` takes several profile data files 37generated by PGO instrumentation and merges them together into a single 38indexed profile data file. 39 40By default profile data is merged without modification. This means that the 41relative importance of each input file is proportional to the number of samples 42or counts it contains. In general, the input from a longer training run will be 43interpreted as relatively more important than a shorter run. Depending on the 44nature of the training runs it may be useful to adjust the weight given to each 45input file by using the ``-weighted-input`` option. 46 47 48OPTIONS 49^^^^^^^ 50 51.. option:: -help 52 53 Print a summary of command line options. 54 55.. option:: -output=output, -o=output 56 57 Specify the output file name. *Output* cannot be ``-`` as the resulting 58 indexed profile data can't be written to standard output. 59 60.. option:: -weighted-input=weight,filename 61 62 Specify an input file name along with a weight. The profile counts of the input 63 file will be scaled (multiplied) by the supplied ``weight``, where where ``weight`` 64 is a decimal integer >= 1. Input files specified without using this option are 65 assigned a default weight of 1. Examples are shown below. 66 67.. option:: -instr (default) 68 69 Specify that the input profile is an instrumentation-based profile. 70 71.. option:: -sample 72 73 Specify that the input profile is a sample-based profile. 74 75 The format of the generated file can be generated in one of three ways: 76 77 .. option:: -binary (default) 78 79 Emit the profile using a binary encoding. For instrumentation-based profile 80 the output format is the indexed binary format. 81 82 .. option:: -text 83 84 Emit the profile in text mode. This option can also be used with both 85 sample-based and instrumentation-based profile. When this option is used 86 the profile will be dumped in the text format that is parsable by the profile 87 reader. 88 89 .. option:: -gcc 90 91 Emit the profile using GCC's gcov format (Not yet supported). 92 93EXAMPLES 94^^^^^^^^ 95Basic Usage 96+++++++++++ 97Merge three profiles: 98 99:: 100 101 llvm-profdata merge foo.profdata bar.profdata baz.profdata -output merged.profdata 102 103Weighted Input 104++++++++++++++ 105The input file `foo.profdata` is especially important, multiply its counts by 10: 106 107:: 108 109 llvm-profdata merge -weighted-input=10,foo.profdata bar.profdata baz.profdata -output merged.profdata 110 111Exactly equivalent to the previous invocation (explicit form; useful for programmatic invocation): 112 113:: 114 115 llvm-profdata merge -weighted-input=10,foo.profdata -weighted-input=1,bar.profdata -weighted-input=1,baz.profdata -output merged.profdata 116 117.. program:: llvm-profdata show 118 119.. _profdata-show: 120 121SHOW 122---- 123 124SYNOPSIS 125^^^^^^^^ 126 127:program:`llvm-profdata show` [*options*] [*filename*] 128 129DESCRIPTION 130^^^^^^^^^^^ 131 132:program:`llvm-profdata show` takes a profile data file and displays the 133information about the profile counters for this file and 134for any of the specified function(s). 135 136If *filename* is omitted or is ``-``, then **llvm-profdata show** reads its 137input from standard input. 138 139OPTIONS 140^^^^^^^ 141 142.. option:: -all-functions 143 144 Print details for every function. 145 146.. option:: -counts 147 148 Print the counter values for the displayed functions. 149 150.. option:: -function=string 151 152 Print details for a function if the function's name contains the given string. 153 154.. option:: -help 155 156 Print a summary of command line options. 157 158.. option:: -output=output, -o=output 159 160 Specify the output file name. If *output* is ``-`` or it isn't specified, 161 then the output is sent to standard output. 162 163.. option:: -instr (default) 164 165 Specify that the input profile is an instrumentation-based profile. 166 167.. option:: -text 168 169 Instruct the profile dumper to show profile counts in the text format of the 170 instrumentation-based profile data representation. By default, the profile 171 information is dumped in a more human readable form (also in text) with 172 annotations. 173 174.. option:: -sample 175 176 Specify that the input profile is a sample-based profile. 177 178EXIT STATUS 179----------- 180 181:program:`llvm-profdata` returns 1 if the command is omitted or is invalid, 182if it cannot read input files, or if there is a mismatch between their data. 183
