=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
gccas - optimizing LLVM assembler
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<gccas> [I<options>] I<filename>
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<gccas> utility takes an LLVM assembly file generated by the
|
|
L<llvmgcc|llvmgcc> or L<llvmg++|llvmgxx> front-ends and converts
|
|
it into an LLVM bytecode file. It is primarily used by the GCC
|
|
front end, and as such, attempts to mimic the interface provided
|
|
by the default system assembler so that it can act as a "drop-in"
|
|
replacement.
|
|
|
|
B<gccas> performs a number of optimizations on the input program,
|
|
including but not limited to: promotion of stack values to SSA
|
|
registers; elimination of dead globals, function arguments, code,
|
|
and types; tail-call elimination; loop-invariant code motion; global
|
|
common-subexpression elimination; and sparse conditional constant
|
|
propagation.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item B<--help>
|
|
|
|
Print a summary of command line options.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-o> F<filename>
|
|
|
|
Specify the name of the output file which will hold the assembled bytecode.
|
|
|
|
=item B<--disable-inlining>
|
|
|
|
Disable the inlining pass. By default, it is enabled.
|
|
|
|
=item B<--disable-opt>
|
|
|
|
Disable all assembler-time optimization passes.
|
|
|
|
=item B<--stats>
|
|
|
|
Print statistics.
|
|
|
|
=item B<--time-passes>
|
|
|
|
Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
|
|
error.
|
|
|
|
=item B<--verify>
|
|
|
|
Verify each pass result.

|
|
=head1 EXIT STATUS
|
|
|
|
If B<gccas> succeeds, it will exit with an exit status of 0.
|
|
Otherwise, if an error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero exit
|
|
status.
