Subject: [PATCH] scripts/checkstack.pl: support llvm-objdump disassembly for x86
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 14:01:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-checkstack_llvm_objdump-v1-1-edb4eca5f163@google.com> (raw)
When running `make LLVM=1 checkstack`, OBJDUMP is set to llvm-objdump.
llvm-objdump outputs disassembly with instruction size suffixes (such as
subq/addq/subl/addl), tabs/whitespace differences, spaces after commas,
and trailing comments (e.g. `# imm = 0x...`).
Because scripts/checkstack.pl used rigid regular expressions specifically
tuned to GNU objdump format (e.g. requiring exactly four spaces, no
suffix, and no space after comma), checkstack.pl failed to match any
stack adjustment instructions and yielded no output when using
llvm-objdump on x86.
Update the regular expressions for x86 to match optional suffixes,
variable whitespace, and trailing comments.
