You need a checkout of clang with compiler-rt to generate the binary file here. These shell commands can be used to regenerate it. $ SRC=path/to/llvm $ CFE=$SRC/tools/clang $ TESTDIR=$SRC/test/tools/llvm-profdata $ CFE_TESTDIR=$CFE/test/Profile $ clang -o a.out -fprofile-instr-generate $CFE_TESTDIR/c-general.c -mllvm -enable-name-compression=false $ LLVM_PROFILE_FILE=$TESTDIR/Inputs/c-general.profraw ./a.out RUN: llvm-profdata show %p/Inputs/c-general.profraw -o - | FileCheck %s RUN: llvm-profdata show %p/Inputs/c-general.profraw --topn=3 -o - | FileCheck %s --check-prefix=TOPN RUN: llvm-profdata show %p/Inputs/c-general.profraw -o - --function=switches | FileCheck %s -check-prefixes=SWITCHES,CHECK SWITCHES-LABEL: Counters: SWITCHES-NEXT: switches: SWITCHES-NEXT: Hash: 0xa50a07f391ae4be5 SWITCHES-NEXT: Counters: 19 SWITCHES-NEXT: Function count: 1 SWITCHES-LABEL: Functions shown: 1 CHECK-LABEL: Total functions: 12 CHECK-NEXT: Maximum function count: 1 CHECK-NEXT: Maximum internal block count: 100 TOPN: boolean_operators, max count = 100 TOPN-NEXT: simple_loops, max count = 100 TOPN-NEXT: conditionals, max count = 100
