- pahole: finds alignment holes in structs and classes in languages
such as C/C++, CPU cacheline alignment. Helps repack those structures
to achieve more cache hits.

code generate on the resulting binaries
- pfunct: displays all sorts of information about functions, inlines, etc.
- pdwtags: pretty-prints DWARF information
- pglobal: lists global symbols
