Hi paulr Thanks for your reply. Though DWARF info give me the code address ranges, there might be inline data. If so, how to handle this case? As for the dwarf line table. Sometimes, the source line might be zero. Do you know why? If all instructions should be describe in the line table, I think analyzing Dwarf line table is enough to get all the instructions addresses. Do you agree? I would also cc my supervisor for the discussion.

Hi Paulr According to my observation. Not all the instructions are listed in the line table. For example. We have address 0xa3a0 and 0xa3a4 as the instructions .text:0000A394 CMP R1, #0x42 .text:0000A398 BHI loc_AB70 .text:0000A39C ADR R1, off_A3A8 .text:0000A3A0 LDR R0, [R1,R0,LSL#2] .text:0000A3A4 MOV PC, R0 .text:0000A3A4 ; ------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- .text:0000A3A8 off_A3A8 DCD loc_AB3C ; DATA XREF: main+AC↑o .text:0000A3AC DCD loc_AB34 .text:0000A3B0 DCD loc_AB70 .text:0000A3B4 DCD loc_AB70 However, inside the line table. The description is end at 0xa39c.

There should be a line-table entry for the end of the function, which appears to be missing from the dump you provided. llvm-dwarfdump should report this address with 'end_sequence' in the Flags. Are you using a different dumper? I am not sure but my guess would be that inline data is not represented in the line table. The line table's primary purpose is to inform the debugger about good breakpoint locations, and clearly you do not want to set breakpoints in data. Inline data is probably contained within the code ranges described in the DW_TAG_subprogram, however. --paulr From: Muhui Jiang [mailto:jiangmuhui at gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2018 1:44 AM To: Robinson, Paul Cc: Yajin; llvm-dev Subject: Re: [llvm-dev] Instruction boundaries Hi Paulr According to my observation.

I have some ideas and hope to get your comments. I would like to use LLVM's source level debugging information to extract the source lines belonging to every functions. Then use the dwarf mapping table to transfer the source level information to binary address. Are there any better methods? Besides, is the address listed inside dwarf line mapping table must be code rather than data? Regards Muhui -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
