MYCC - C compiler wrapper for function logging

Prerequisite

• gcc or C compiler that supports -finstrument-functions
• make - for build and install
• /proc/[pid]/maps - I don't know how otherwise to translate address
• shell - for mycc wrapper script
• Perl - for mycc_translate script
• binutils - just nm for mycc_translate
• (Optional) MyDef + output_c

Install

make install

Or (without installing MyDef, may be out-of-date) -

make boot=boot install

It installs to $HOME/bin. Add $HOME/bin to your PATH.

Sorry for lack of configurations, but hopefully you'd enjoy the simplicity.

Usage

Set CC=mycc and most build system will pick it up. For example, with Makefile, try make CC=mycc. With autoconf, try ./configure CC=mycc.

Example

$ cat foo/foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int r=0;
void delay(int iters){for(int i=0;i<iters;i++);}
void baz() { delay(5000000); r++; }
void bar() { delay(1000000); printf("hello world!\n"); r++; baz(); }
int main(int argc,char **argv) { bar(); return r; }

build

$ mycc -o foo/foo foo/foo.c

Or -

$ mycc -c -o foo/foo.o foo/foo.c && mycc -o foo/foo foo/foo.o

run

$ MYCC_LOG=stdout foo/foo | mycc_translate
  0.000    main {
  0.000        bar {
  0.000            delay {
  0.006            }
hello world!
  0.006            baz {
  0.006                delay {
  0.029                }
  0.029            }
  0.029        }
  0.029    }

Or -

$ MYCC_LOG=foo.log foo/foo
hello world!

$ cat foo.log

$ cat foo.log | mycc_translate > foo_clean.log

$ cat foo_clean.log
  0.000    main {
  0.000        bar {
  0.000            delay {
  0.007            }
  0.007            baz {
  0.007                delay {
  0.032                }
  0.032            }
  0.032        }
  0.032    }

mycc_translate can also be used "in-line":

$ mycc_translate foo.log

$ ls foo.log*
foo.log  foo.log.raw

foo.log.raw is the original raw log file, and foo.log has been overwritten with translated lines.

Note

In case it is not clear, this is for debugging and code study. Do not use it to build production.
