A tool for analyzing the size of dependencies in compiled Golang binary files, providing insights into their impact on the final build.

Overview

gsv

Build and publish FOSSA Status

A simple tool to view the size of a Go compiled binary.

Build on top of bloaty.

Usage

First, you need to compile your Go program with the following flags:

 go build -gcflags=all="-N -l"

Then, you can use gsv to analyze the binary:

Analysis golang compiled binary size

Usage: gsv [OPTIONS] <BINARY>

Arguments:
  <BINARY>  The binary to analysis

Options:
  -p, --port <PORT>  The port to listen on for web mode [default: 8888]
  -w, --web          View the result in the browser
  -h, --help         Print help

Example

Web mode

$ gsv --web golang-compiled-binary

Will start a web server on port 8888, you can view the result in your browser.

The web page will look like this:

Limitations

Since lots of workaround for static build is used, currently gsv only works on linux platform.

Constant string in Go binary is stored in .rodata section, analysis on this section depends on disassembler. Even if a constant is used by multiple packages within the program, the size of the constant will only be attributed to the package where it is first encountered during decompilation. This is a limitation of bloaty. For more information, please refer to this

As for now, gsv can only analyze elf64 binary. PE and Mach-O support will be added in the future.

Todo

  • Support PE and Mach-O
  • Support Windows and MacOS
  • Remove dependency on bloaty

You can find a pure rust version without dependency on bloaty at pure branch. Since it can not disassemble .rodata section, the result is not accurate. The work is still in progress.

Split text into semantic chunks, up to a desired chunk size. Supports calculating length by characters and tokens

Large language models (LLMs) can be used for many tasks, but often have a limited context size that can be smaller than documents you might want to use. To use documents of larger length, you often have to split your text into chunks to fit within this context size.
