LLVM GDB Pretty Printers

This project provides GDB pretty printers for LLVM types, specifically for llvm::Type and llvm::Value. The pretty printers directly use the dump() method when inspecting LLVM types within GDB.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/bmanga/llvm-ir-pp.git

2. Load the pretty printers in your GDB session by adding the following to your .gdbinit file:

source /path/to/llvm-ir-pp/llvm-ir-prettyprinter.py

Usage

Once the pretty printers are loaded, GDB will automatically use them to display LLVM types when they are encountered. For example:

(gdb) p *ST
$1 = store ptr addrspace(1) %data_out_raw, ptr %data, align 4

Your IDE may also be able to make use of it (eg. VSCode, see the image above)
