=head1 NAME
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
llc - LLVM static compiler
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
B<llc> [I<options>] [I<filename>]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The B<llc> command compiles LLVM bytecode into assembly language for a
 | 
						|
specified architecture.  The assembly language output can then be passed through
 | 
						|
a native assembler and linker to generate native code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The choice of architecture for the output assembly code is determined as
 | 
						|
follows, by attempting to satisfy each of the following rules in turn (first
 | 
						|
one wins):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item *
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the user has specified an architecture with the -m option, use that
 | 
						|
architecture.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item *
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Examine the input LLVM bytecode file: if it is little endian and has a
 | 
						|
pointer size of 32 bits, select the Intel IA-32 architecture.  If it is big
 | 
						|
endian and has a pointer size of 64 bits, select the SparcV9 architecture.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item *
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If B<llc> was compiled on an architecture for which it can generate code, select
 | 
						|
the architecture upon which B<llc> was compiled.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item *
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Exit with an error message telling the user to specify the output
 | 
						|
architecture explicitly.

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 OPTIONS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If I<filename> is - or omitted, B<llc> reads LLVM bytecode from standard input.
 | 
						|
Otherwise, it will read LLVM bytecode from I<filename>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the B<-o> option is omitted, then B<llc> will send its output to standard
 | 
						|
output if the input is from standard input.  If the B<-o> option specifies -,
 | 
						|
then the output will also be sent to standard output.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If no B<-o> option is specified and an input file other than - is specified,
 | 
						|
then B<llc> creates the output filename by taking the input filename,
 | 
						|
removing any existing F<.bc> extension, and adding a F<.s> suffix.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Other B<llc> options are as follows:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-f>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Overwrite output files. By default, B<llc> will refuse to overwrite
 | 
						|
an output file which already exists.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-march>=I<arch>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Specify the architecture for which to generate assembly.  Valid
 | 
						|
architectures are:

=item B<-enable-correct-eh-support>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Instruct the B<-lowerinvoke> pass to insert code for correct exception handling
 | 
						|
support.  This is expensive and is by default omitted for efficiency.

						|
=item B<-time-passes>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print a report to standard
 | 
						|
error.

						|
 |

						|
it will exit with a non-zero value.
