cargo-binutils

Cargo subcommands to invoke the LLVM tools shipped with the Rust toolchain

NOTE This is not an official Rust project.

Features

• All Rust symbols in the output of the LLVM tools are automatically demangled.

Installation

``` console $ cargo install cargo-binutils

$ rustup component add llvm-tools ```

Usage

This

console $ cargo $tool -- ${args[@]}

is basically sugar for

console $ $(find $(rustc --print sysroot) -name llvm-$tool) ${args[@]}

In the case of cargo-objdump the compilation target is passed as -triple=$target to llvm-objdump. -triple specifies to which architecture disassemble the object file to.

You can get more information about the CLI of each tool by running cargo $tool -- --help.

cargo $tool accepts the flags: --target and --verbose / -v. In verbose mode the llvm-$tool invocation will be printed to stderr.

Disclaimer Note that cargo-binutils simply proxies the LLVM tools in the llvm-tools component and the Rust project makes no guarantee about the availability and the CLI of these tools -- i.e. the availability and CLI of these tools may change as new Rust releases are made.
