Build instructions for Binary Diffing

Use normal build for your own usage. The tools here are used to copy how Intel/Silicom compiles their released versions.

Requirements

• Docker
• patience (specific GCC build will take a while)

Usage

• $ ./do-build-as-silicom.sh [commit]
  • Creates CentOS 6.10 container with GCC 4.4.2-7 on it, and builds IES from commit (default origin/master). Re-run to build new changes.
  • Alternatively you can build via GCC 4.4.4-10, but it has slight differences. Do this via $ GCC_VERSION=4.4.4-10.el6 ./do-build-as-silicom.sh
• $ ./do-binary-diff.sh
  • Creates elf_diff container, and diffs produced build on first step. Grabs known Silicom .so
• Outputs for both steps exist under ./output folder.
