This adds JSON output to llvm-remark-size-diff.
The goal here is to make it easy for external tools to consume output from llvm-remark-size-diff. These tools could be used for automated size analysis. (E.g. in CI).
To specify JSON output, use --report_style=json. JSON output can be pretty-printed via --pretty.
With automation in mind, the schema looks like this:
"Files": { "A": <filename_a> "B": <filename_b> }, "InBoth": [ { "FunctionName": <function name>, "InstCount": [ <count_in_a>, <count_in_b> ], "StackSize": [ <count_in_a>, <count_in_b> ] }, ... ] "OnlyInA": [ { "FunctionName": <function name>, "InstCount": [ <count_in_a>, 0 ], "StackSize": [ <count_in_a>, 0 ] }, ... ] "OnlyInB": [ { "FunctionName": <function name>, "InstCount": [ 0, <count_in_b> ], "StackSize": [ 0, <count_in_b> ] }, ... ]
A few notes:
- Filenames are included, because tools may want to combine many outputs together in some way (a big JSON file, a big CSV, or something.)
- Counts are represented as [a, b] so that a diff can be calculated via b - a. The original counts may be useful for size analysis (e.g. was this function extremely large before?) and so both are preserved.
- OnlyInA and OnlyInB have a 0 for one of the counts always. This is to make it easier for tools to share code between OnlyInA, OnlyInB, and InBoth.
