bugpoint - automatic test case reduction tool
=============================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**bugpoint** [*options*] [*input LLVM ll/bc files*] [*LLVM passes*] **--args**
*program arguments*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
**bugpoint** narrows down the source of problems in LLVM tools and passes. It
can be used to debug three types of failures: optimizer crashes, miscompilations
by optimizers, or bad native code generation (including problems in the static

OPTIONS
-------
**--additional-so** *library*
Load the dynamic shared object *library* into the test program whenever it is
run. This is useful if you are debugging programs which depend on non-LLVM
libraries (such as the X or curses libraries) to run.
**--append-exit-code**\ =\ *{true,false}*
Append the test programs exit code to the output file so that a change in exit
code is considered a test failure. Defaults to false.
**--args** *program args*
Pass all arguments specified after -args to the test program whenever it runs.
Note that if any of the *program args* start with a '-', you should use:
Pass all arguments specified after **--args** to the test program whenever it runs.
Note that if any of the *program args* start with a "``-``", you should use:
.. code-block:: perl
bugpoint [bugpoint args] --args -- [program args]
The "--" right after the **--args** option tells **bugpoint** to consider any
options starting with ``-`` to be part of the **--args** option, not as options to
**bugpoint** itself.
The "``--``" right after the **--args** option tells **bugpoint** to consider
any options starting with "``-``" to be part of the **--args** option, not as
options to **bugpoint** itself.

Pass all arguments specified after **--tool-args** to the LLVM tool under test
(**llc**, **lli**, etc.) whenever it runs. You should use this option in the
following way:

The "--" right after the **--tool-args** option tells **bugpoint** to consider any
options starting with ``-`` to be part of the **--tool-args** option, not as

**--safe-tool-args** *tool args*
Pass all arguments specified after **--safe-tool-args** to the "safe" execution
tool.
**--gcc-tool-args** *gcc tool args*
Pass all arguments specified after **--gcc-tool-args** to the invocation of
**gcc**.
**--opt-args** *opt args*
Pass all arguments specified after **--opt-args** to the invocation of **opt**.

reduce test programs. If you're trying to find a bug in one of these passes,
**bugpoint** may crash.
**--enable-valgrind**
Use valgrind to find faults in the optimization phase. This will allow
bugpoint to find otherwise asymptomatic problems caused by memory
mis-management.
**-find-bugs**
Continually randomize the specified passes and run them on the test program
until a bug is found or the user kills **bugpoint**.
**-help**
Print a summary of command line options.
**--input** *filename*
Open *filename* and redirect the standard input of the test program, whenever
it runs, to come from that file.

EXIT STATUS

If **bugpoint** succeeds in finding a problem, it will exit with 0. Otherwise,
if an error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.

This document provides some details on LLVM's System Library, located in the
