stacklimit

A static analyzer, which determines the maximum stack size of an executable or library using the ELF format.

stacklimit is a standalone python script, which parses the object file of the provided binary by using objdump. During parsing it stacklimit will create a call graph with the changed stack size per function. The changed stack size is determined via operations which can decrease the stack pointer and therefore may increase the used stack.

After that stacklimit will calculate the total stack size by traveling through the call graph and summarize the stack size of each function including the sub-function, which increases the stack the most.

stacklimit was highly influenced by the Perl script checkstack.pl of the Linux kernel.

Example

To analyze the compilation of test/dep.c, just execute stacklimit with the path to the binary:

$ stacklimit tests/dep-x86_64

Features

  • Function call tree
  • Detection of recursive function calls (cycles)
  • Detection of dynamic stack operations
  • Detection of indirect calls (function pointers)

Supported Architectures

  • arm
  • aarch64
  • x86
  • x86_64

Dependencies

  • objdump (gcc)
  • readelf
  • python >= 3.6

Build

To build the sources and wheels archives, use Poetry:

poetry build

Development

To run all checks like the code formatter and all unit tests just execute

poetry run pre-commit run --all-files

To run those checks automatically when creating a new commit, just configure pre-commit within the project folder with

poetry run pre-commit install

Tools:

To install all develop dependencies, use Poetry:

poetry install

Unit tests

For testing the framework pytest is used.

To run all tests, just execute

poetry run pytest

To print the coverage, too, run

poetry run pytest --cov=stacklimit

And to generate a coverage report in XML, which can be used further, run

poetry run pytest --cov=stacklimit --cov-report=xml tests

Component tests

To run component tests execute

poetry run tests/component/misc.sh
poetry run tests/component/none_sense.sh
poetry run tests/component/recursion.sh

stacklimit

A static analyzer, which determines the maximum stack size of an executable or library using the ELF format.

stacklimit is a standalone python script, which parses the object file of the provided binary by using objdump. During parsing it stacklimit will create a call graph with the changed stack size per function. The changed stack size is determined via operations which can decrease the stack pointer and therefore may increase the used stack.

After that stacklimit will calculate the total stack size by traveling through the call graph and summarize the stack size of each function including the sub-function, which increases the stack the most.

stacklimit was highly influenced by the Perl script checkstack.pl of the Linux kernel.

Example

To analyze the compilation of test/dep.c, just execute stacklimit with the path to the binary:

$ stacklimit tests/dep-x86_64
