debugging - 从使用 ARM-GCC 编译的 elf 文件中提取详细的符号信息(结构成员)

Question

我正在使用 ARM-GCC 4.7.4 编译 Cortex-M4 的代码。对于我们的调试工具，我需要以人类可读格式(例如 .txt)了解所有变量的名称、类型和地址。 map 文件提供了大部分信息，不幸的是没有提供如下结构内容:

typedef struct {    float32_t   Ref;        // Input:   Reference Value
            float32_t   Fdb;        // Variable:    Feedback Value
            float32_t   Err;        // Input:   Control Error
            float32_t   Kp;     // Parameter:   Gain of the Proportional Part
            float32_t   Up;         // Output:  Output of Proportional Part
            float32_t   Ki;     // Parameter:   Gain of the Integral Part
            float32_t   Ui;     // Output:  Output of the Integral Part
            float32_t   OutPreSat;  // Output:  Not saturated Output
            float32_t   OutMax;     // Parameter:   Maximum Output
            float32_t   OutMin;     // Parameter:   Minimum Output
            float32_t   Out;        // Output:  Saturated Output
        } PI_REG;

 PI_REG BU_Uctrl_Udc_PI_Reg = BU_UCTRL_UDC_PI_REG_INIT;

因此，我尝试使用 nm、readelf 和 objdump 工具从 .elf 文件中获取一些内容，该文件是使用参数 –g3 以 dwarf-2 格式编译的。只有使用 objdump 我才能找到我搜索的信息:

objdump –Wi myfile.elf >symbols.txt

有关 typedef PI_REG 的以下信息可以在symbols.txt 文件中找到:

    <390f8>   DW_AT_data_member_location: 2 byte block: 23 4 (DW_OP_plus_uconst: 4)

[遗漏了偏移量为 6-32 的结构成员]

如果我想获取有关变量的信息，例如结构BU_Uctrl_Udc_PI_Reg，我必须执行以下操作:

Find an entry called “DW_TAG_variable” and gather following information:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - DW_AT_name: The name is BU_Uctrl_Udc_PI_Reg
 - DW_OP_addr: Base address is 200067fc
 - DW_AT_type: The data type can be found at line 39176 

Search line 39176 and gather following information:
-----------------------------------------------------
 - It is a typedef (DW_TAG_typedef)
 - DW_AT_name: The typedef name is PI_REG
 - DW_AT_type: The definition can be found at line 390d7

Search line 390d7 and gather following information:
---------------------------------------------------
 - It is a structure (DW_TAG_structure_type) 
 - DW_AT_byte_size: It is 44 bytes wide

Search the structure Members in upcoming lines until 44 bytes are reached:
--------------------------------------------------------

1. Member (DW_TAG_member):
 - DW_AT_name: Ref
 - DW_AT_data_member_location: 200067fc + 0
 - DW_AT_type: The data type can be found at line 38891:
 - DW_TAG_typedef: float32_t
 - DW_AT_type: The data type can be found at line 38883: 
 - DW_TAG_base_type: float
 - DW_AT_byte_size: 4 bytes

2. Member (DW_TAG_member):
 - DW_AT_name: Fdb
 - DW_AT_data_member_location: 200067fc + 4
 - DW_AT_type: The data type can be found at line 38891:
 - DW_TAG_typedef: float32_t
 - DW_AT_type: The data type can be found at line 38883:
 - DW_TAG_base_type: float
 - DW_AT_byte_size: 4 bytes

[left out Members 3-9]

10. Member (DW_TAG_member):
 - DW_AT_name: OutMin
 - DW_AT_data_member_location: 200067fc + 36
 - DW_AT_type: The data type can be found at line 38891:
 - DW_TAG_typedef: float32_t
 - DW_AT_type: The data type can be found at line 38883:
 - DW_TAG_base_type: float
 - DW_AT_byte_size: 4 bytes

 11. Member (DW_TAG_member):
 - DW_AT_name: Out
 - DW_AT_data_member_location: 200067fc + 40
 - DW_AT_type: The data type can be found at line 38891:
 - DW_TAG_typedef: float32_t
 - DW_AT_type: The data type can be found at line 38883:
 - DW_TAG_base_type: float
 - DW_AT_byte_size: 4 bytes

坦率地说，自动收集上述信息的脚本文件会比我的应用程序更复杂。另外我必须承认我真的不知道如何编写这样的脚本。有没有更简单的方法来获取此类信息？尽管我想我尝试了所有相关的参数，但 objdump 是否有一些参数可以帮助我解决这个问题？或者是否存在能够做到这一点的工具？最后，我需要一个像这样的表(此外，最好拥有所有枚举，当然也可以在 .elf 文件中找到):

0x200067fc  float   BU_Uctrl_Udc_PI_Reg.Ref
0x20006800  float   BU_Uctrl_Udc_PI_Reg.Fdb
[…]
0x20006832  float   BU_Uctrl_Udc_PI_Reg.OutMin
0x20006836  float   BU_Uctrl_Udc_PI_Reg.Out

Fromelf 工具 http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0477c/index.html (包含在 Keil µVision 中)使用参数 --text 准确地提供了这样一个表，但不幸的是我无法使用它，因为它应该需要 .elf 或在本例中称为使用 Arm 编译器工具链编译的 .axf 文件才能工作。此外还存在许可证问题。

感谢您的任何提示。

pahole 是您需要的吗？它可以转储具有大小和偏移量的变量结构。

pahole −−reorganize −C foo xxx.out

struct foo {
int a; / 0 4 /
char c[4]; / 4 4 /
void b; / 8 8 /
long g; / 16 8 /
}; / size: 24, cachelines: 1 /
/ last cacheline: 24 bytes /
/ saved 8 bytes! /
