freebsd-skq/usr.bin/clang/bugpoint/bugpoint.1
dim 5b72ffe827 Regenerate ReStructuredText based manpages for llvm-project tools: 
* bugpoint.1
* clang.1
* llc.1
* lldb.1
* lli.1
* llvm-ar.1
* llvm-as.1
* llvm-bcanalyzer.1
* llvm-cov.1
* llvm-diff.1
* llvm-dis.1
* llvm-dwarfdump.1
* llvm-extract.1
* llvm-link.1
* llvm-mca.1
* llvm-nm.1
* llvm-pdbutil.1
* llvm-profdata.1
* llvm-symbolizer.1
* llvm-tblgen.1
* opt.1

Add newly generated manpages for:

* llvm-addr2line.1 (this is an alias of llvm-symbolizer)
* llvm-cxxfilt.1
* llvm-objcopy.1
* llvm-ranlib.1 (this is an alias of llvm-ar)

Note that llvm-objdump.1 is an exception, as upstream has both a plain
.1 file, and a .rst variant. These will have to be reconciled upstream
first.

.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBbugpoint\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIinput LLVM ll/bc files\fP] [\fILLVM passes\fP] \fB\-\-args\fP
\fIprogram arguments\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBbugpoint\fP narrows down the source of problems in LLVM tools and passes. It
can be used to debug three types of failures: optimizer crashes, miscompilations
by optimizers, or bad native code generation (including problems in the static
and JIT compilers). It aims to reduce large test cases to small, useful ones.
For more information on the design and inner workings of \fBbugpoint\fP, as well as
advice for using bugpoint, see /Bugpoint in the LLVM
distribution.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
\fB\-\-additional\-so\fP \fIlibrary\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Load the dynamic shared object \fIlibrary\fP into the test program whenever it is
run. This is useful if you are debugging programs which depend on non\-LLVM
libraries (such as the X or curses libraries) to run.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-append\-exit\-code\fP=\fI{true,false}\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Append the test programs exit code to the output file so that a change in exit
code is considered a test failure. Defaults to false.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-args\fP \fIprogram args\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Pass all arguments specified after \fB\-\-args\fP to the test program whenever it runs.
Note that if any of the \fIprogram args\fP start with a "\fB\-\fP", you should use:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
bugpoint [bugpoint args] \-\-args \-\- [program args]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The "\fB\-\-\fP" right after the \fB\-\-args\fP option tells \fBbugpoint\fP to consider
any options starting with "\fB\-\fP" to be part of the \fB\-\-args\fP option, not as
options to \fBbugpoint\fP itself.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-tool\-args\fP \fItool args\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Pass all arguments specified after \fB\-\-tool\-args\fP to the LLVM tool under test
(\fBllc\fP, \fBlli\fP, etc.) whenever it runs. You should use this option in the
following way:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
bugpoint [bugpoint args] \-\-tool\-args \-\- [tool args]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The "\fB\-\-\fP" right after the \fB\-\-tool\-args\fP option tells \fBbugpoint\fP to
consider any options starting with "\fB\-\fP" to be part of the \fB\-\-tool\-args\fP
option, not as options to \fBbugpoint\fP itself. (See \fB\-\-args\fP, above.)
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-safe\-tool\-args\fP \fItool args\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Pass all arguments specified after \fB\-\-safe\-tool\-args\fP to the "safe" execution
tool.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-gcc\-tool\-args\fP \fIgcc tool args\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Pass all arguments specified after \fB\-\-gcc\-tool\-args\fP to the invocation of
\fBgcc\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-opt\-args\fP \fIopt args\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Pass all arguments specified after \fB\-\-opt\-args\fP to the invocation of \fBopt\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-disable\-{dce,simplifycfg}\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Do not run the specified passes to clean up and reduce the size of the test
program. By default, \fBbugpoint\fP uses these passes internally when attempting to
reduce test programs. If you\(aqre trying to find a bug in one of these passes,
\fBbugpoint\fP may crash.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-enable\-valgrind\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Use valgrind to find faults in the optimization phase. This will allow
bugpoint to find otherwise asymptomatic problems caused by memory
mis\-management.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-find\-bugs\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Continually randomize the specified passes and run them on the test program
until a bug is found or the user kills \fBbugpoint\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-help\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Print a summary of command line options.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-input\fP \fIfilename\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Open \fIfilename\fP and redirect the standard input of the test program, whenever
it runs, to come from that file.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-load\fP \fIplugin\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Load the dynamic object \fIplugin\fP into \fBbugpoint\fP itself. This object should
register new optimization passes. Once loaded, the object will add new command
line options to enable various optimizations. To see the new complete list of
optimizations, use the \fB\-help\fP and \fB\-\-load\fP options together; for example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
bugpoint \-\-load myNewPass.so \-help
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-mlimit\fP \fImegabytes\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Specifies an upper limit on memory usage of the optimization and codegen. Set
to zero to disable the limit.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-output\fP \fIfilename\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Whenever the test program produces output on its standard output stream, it
should match the contents of \fIfilename\fP (the "reference output"). If you
do not use this option, \fBbugpoint\fP will attempt to generate a reference output
by compiling the program with the "safe" backend and running it.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-run\-{int,jit,llc,custom}\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Whenever the test program is compiled, \fBbugpoint\fP should generate code for it
using the specified code generator. These options allow you to choose the
interpreter, the JIT compiler, the static native code compiler, or a
custom command (see \fB\-\-exec\-command\fP) respectively.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-safe\-{llc,custom}\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
When debugging a code generator, \fBbugpoint\fP should use the specified code
generator as the "safe" code generator. This is a known\-good code generator
used to generate the "reference output" if it has not been provided, and to
compile portions of the program that as they are excluded from the testcase.
These options allow you to choose the
static native code compiler, or a custom command, (see \fB\-\-exec\-command\fP)
respectively. The interpreter and the JIT backends cannot currently
be used as the "safe" backends.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-exec\-command\fP \fIcommand\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
This option defines the command to use with the \fB\-\-run\-custom\fP and
\fB\-\-safe\-custom\fP options to execute the bitcode testcase. This can
be useful for cross\-compilation.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-compile\-command\fP \fIcommand\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
This option defines the command to use with the \fB\-\-compile\-custom\fP
option to compile the bitcode testcase. The command should exit with a
failure exit code if the file is "interesting" and should exit with a
success exit code (i.e. 0) otherwise (this is the same as if it crashed on
"interesting" inputs).
.sp
This can be useful for
testing compiler output without running any link or execute stages. To
generate a reduced unit test, you may add CHECK directives to the
testcase and pass the name of an executable compile\-command script in this form:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
#!/bin/sh
llc "$@"
not FileCheck [bugpoint input file].ll < bugpoint\-test\-program.s
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
This script will "fail" as long as FileCheck passes. So the result
will be the minimum bitcode that passes FileCheck.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-safe\-path\fP \fIpath\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
This option defines the path to the command to execute with the
\fB\-\-safe\-{int,jit,llc,custom}\fP
option.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\fB\-\-verbose\-errors\fP=\fI{true,false}\fP
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
The default behavior of bugpoint is to print "<crash>" when it finds a reduced
test that crashes compilation. This flag prints the output of the crashing
program to stderr. This is useful to make sure it is the same error being
tracked down and not a different error that happens to crash the compiler as
well. Defaults to false.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SH EXIT STATUS
.sp
If \fBbugpoint\fP succeeds in finding a problem, it will exit with 0. Otherwise,
if an error occurs, it will exit with a non\-zero value.
