Hi Andy, In the NotifyObjectEmitted method of our derived JITEventListener class we use the begin_symbol() iterator to walk the object's symbols looking for functions and only functions marked with ExternalLinkage seem to show up. I'm not sure how I would access the Dwarf info from within there, is there a way?

Yeah, take a look at the IntelJITEventListener code (in lib/ExecutionEngine/IntelJITEvents). It uses the debug info to find function names. -Andy From: Andrew MacPherson [mailto:andrew.macp at gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 1:12 PM To: Kaylor, Andrew Cc: Reid Kleckner; llvmdev at cs.uiuc.edu Subject: Re: [LLVMdev] Stack traces from JIT code Hi Andy, In the NotifyObjectEmitted method of our derived JITEventListener class we use the begin_symbol() iterator to walk the object's symbols looking for functions and only functions marked with ExternalLinkage seem to show up.

Got an error message the previous time around] Hey guys, In our project we have the following workflow: - Given a user request, we construct a C++ program to service the request - We create a compiler invocation to compile that program into an IR module - We use JIT (and optionally MCJIT) to convert the IR into executable code and run it Occasionally, we have a crash in the JIT code and we are looking to figure out best practices around debuggability. With the MCJIT option, we can debug in gdb so that is already a big step forward. However, that does not work for a production crash. We want to capture the stack trace from the crash and write it to stderr. Our binary has a signal handler that does stack unwinding and symbolization upon crash. Based on my reading so far, we need to implement a JITEventListener which would keep track of the dynamically generated symbol addresses and use the resulting maps for symbolization. Will that work? Is there a simpler way?

Thanks Andy. It looks like the IntelJITEventListener uses the ObjectImage begin_symbols() iterator as well so would not include functions without ExternalLinkage but I hadn't seen these Dwarf parsing functions before, they look quite useful!
