87 codegen-diff [-d] I<OBJDUMP-OUTPUT-FILE> I<GDB-DISASSEMBLY-FILE>
91 B<codegen-diff> is a program that tries to show you the differences
92 between the code that B<llc> generated and the code that B<lli> generated.
94 The way you use it is as follows: first, you create I<OBJDUMP-OUTPUT-FILE>
95 by running B<objdump> on the B<llc> compiled and linked binary. You need to
96 trim down the result so it contains only the function of interest.
98 Second, you create I<GDB-DISASSEMBLY-FILE> by running B<gdb>, with my patch
99 to print out hex bytes in the B<disassemble> command output, on
100 B<lli>. Set a breakpoint in C<Emitter::finishFunction()> and wait until
101 the function you want is compiled. Then use the B<disassemble> command
102 to print out the assembly dump of the function B<lli> just compiled.
103 (Use C<lli -debug> to find out where the function starts and ends in memory.)
104 It's easiest to save this output by using B<script>.
106 Finally, you run B<codegen-diff>, as indicated in the Synopsis section of
107 this manpage. It will print out a two-line stanza for each mismatched
108 instruction, with the B<llc> version first, and the B<lli> version second.
116 Don't show instructions where the bytes are different but they
117 disassemble to the same thing. This puts a lot of trust in the
118 disassembler, but it might help you highlight the more egregious cases
125 B<codegen-diff> was written by Brian Gaeke.

131 You will need my B<gdb> patch:
