mruby-bin-strip

mruby-strip removes debug information from compiled mruby bytecode files to reduce file size.

Usage

mruby-strip [switches] irepfiles

Options

  • -l, --lvar - remove LVAR section too (local variable names)

Examples

bash
# Strip debug info from a compiled file
mruby-strip script.mrb

# Strip debug info and local variable names
mruby-strip -l script.mrb
mruby-strip --lvar script.mrb

# Strip multiple files
mruby-strip file1.mrb file2.mrb file3.mrb

Notes

  • The input files are modified in-place
  • Stripping removes debug symbols used by the debugger (mrdb)
  • The -l option additionally removes local variable names, which are needed for some reflection features
  • Stripped files will still execute correctly but cannot be debugged effectively
