$ xref stats

Functions, code size, data pointers, imports and panic locations.

Summarizes .eh_frame function boundaries, code bytes, relocated pointers, imports, symbol count, and Rust panic locations without writing an index.

Stats

Instant overview of stripped xref.stripped (0 symbols, 1,974 .eh_frame functions, 588 panic locations).

$ xref -b xref.stripped stats

functions 1974  code 0x177f94 bytes
largest 0xd7740..0xf13ff (0x19cbf bytes)
pointers 1510  imports 80  symbols 0
panic locations 588  source files 143

xref: load 486.6µs, total 1.1ms

Reading the output

• functions and code: number of functions from .eh_frame and the bytes of code they cover.
• largest: the biggest function range.
• pointers, imports, symbols: data slots holding code addresses, imported functions, and symbol-table entries (0 when stripped).
• panic locations, source files: Rust panic Location descriptors found and the distinct files they name.

Limits

• Counts describe what xref can see statically; functions without unwind information are covered by span fallback and may be split or merged.

Provenance

Recorded with a development build of xref after 0.4.0 on Linux x86-64, on xref.stripped = a stripped xref build (the binary of the home-page examples). Output is unchanged except that whitespace at the end of each line and empty lines at the end of the output are removed; long outputs are cut where marked.
