            Bug ID: 33647
           Summary: Reduce the size of llvm-nm and llvm-ar
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Core LLVM classes
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: rafael.espindola at gmail.com
                CC: llvm-bugs at lists.llvm.org

These two utilities are very big for what they are:

% size  bin/llvm-nm bin/llvm-ar
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
11438972        3805936  128664 15373572         ea9504 bin/llvm-nm
11374922        3806224  121520 15302666         e9800a bin/llvm-ar


The main problem is that they support bitcode files. Until recently to find all
the symbols in the bitcode they had to parse it and then parse any file level
inline assembly.

This should not be necessary anymore now that bicode files have a symbol table.
