About:
Bloaty is a size profiler for binaries that analyzes the size of executable files and their constituent parts. It provides a detailed breakdown of where the binary's space is being used, helping developers identify large functions, data sections, and dependencies. This tool is invaluable for optimizing binary size in resource-constrained environments.
|
Key Features:
- Deep binary analysis: Inspects ELF, Mach-O, and DWARF debug information
- Multiple breakdown views: Analyze by symbols, source lines, or sections
- Diffing capability: Compare two binaries to see what changed
- VM map analysis: Understand memory layout and usage
|
Use Cases:
- Reducing the size of embedded system firmware
- Identifying large dependencies in application deployment
- Optimizing mobile app binary size for faster downloads
- Debugging unexpected binary size increases
|
Alternatives:
-
nm
– nm is a standard tool for listing symbols but lacks Bloaty's detailed size analysis and diffing features
-
size
– size only shows basic segment sizes, whereas Bloaty provides granular function-level breakdowns
