使用pahole進行c struct優化

本來想找一個可以爬c struct的工具,進行自動轉換

結果發現pahole,不但可以秀出c struct,還可以秀出它的layout

linux man page裡面有它的說明

pahole shows data structure layouts encoded in debugging information formats, DWARF and CTF being supported. This is useful for, among other things: optimizing important data structures by reducing its size, figuring out what is the field sitting at an offset from the start of a data structure, investigating ABI changes and more generally understanding a new codebase you have to work with.

主要是分析加入debug information(-g)的執行檔或object檔來顯示資訊

但是ubuntu apt竟然找不到pahole..翻了一下原來在etfutils裡

xdmq裡的某個struct分析出的結果如下:

struct cli_ctx_s {
        char                       host[255];            /*     0   255 */

        /* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */

        /* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */
        int                        port;                 /*   256     4 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        uv_tcp_t                   client;               /*   264   248 */
        /* --- cacheline 8 boundary (512 bytes) --- */
        uv_connect_t               conn;                 /*   512    96 */
        /* --- cacheline 9 boundary (576 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        buffer_t                   buff;                 /*   608     8 */
        int                        node_id;              /*   616     4 */
        int                        self_id;              /*   620     4 */
        read_cb                    r_cb;                 /*   624     8 */
        msgpack_unpacker *         unp;                  /*   632     8 */
        /* --- cacheline 10 boundary (640 bytes) --- */
        int                        status;               /*   640     4 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        raft_node_t                node;                 /*   648     8 */

        /* size: 656, cachelines: 11, members: 11 */
        /* sum members: 647, holes: 3, sum holes: 9 */
        /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};
