This directory contains debugging and investigation tools for V8.

The contents are regularly mirrored to http://v8.dev/tools.

For local development you have to start a local webserver under http://localhost:8000:

  cd tools/;
  npm install;
  npm run start-webserver;

The system-analyzer can symbolize profiles for local binaries by running a local symbol server

  cd tools/;
  ./system-analyzer/local-server.sh;

Note that the local symbol server will run nm and objdump and has access to your files.
