cargo-llvm-lines

Count the number of lines of LLVM IR across all instantiations of a generic function. Based on a suggestion from @eddyb on how to count monomorphized functions in order to debug compiler memory usage, executable size and compile time.

<eddyb> unoptimized LLVM IR <eddyb> first used grep '^define' to get only the lines defining function bodies <eddyb> then regex replace in my editor to remove everything before @ and everything after ( <eddyb> then sort | uniq -c

Installation

Install with cargo install cargo-llvm-lines.

Output

One line per function with three columns of output:

1. Total number of lines of LLVM IR generated across all instantiations of the function (and the percentage of the total).
2. Number of instantiations of the function (and the percentage of the total). For a generic function, roughly the number of distinct combinations of generic type parameters it is called with.
3. Name of the function.
