=head1 NAME
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
llvm-ld - LLVM linker
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
B<llvm-ld> <options> <files>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The B<llvm-ld> command is similar to the common Unix utility, C<ld>. It 
 | 
						|
links together bytecode modules to produce an executable program.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 OPTIONS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head2 Input/Output Options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-o> F<filename>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This overrides the default output file and specifies the name of the file that
 | 
						|
should be generated by the linker. By default, B<llvm-ld> generates a file named
 | 
						|
F<a.out> for compatibility with B<ld>. The output will be written to
 | 
						|
F<filename>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-l>F<name>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This option specifies the F<name> of a library to search when resolving symbols
 | 
						|
for the program. Only the base name should be specified as F<name>, without a
 | 
						|
F<lib> prefix or any suffix. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-L>F<Path>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This option tells B<llvm-ld> to look in F<Path> to find any library subsequently
 | 
						|
specified with the B<-l> option. The paths will be searched in the order in
 | 
						|
which they are specified on the command line. If the library is still not found,
 | 
						|
a small set of system specific directories will also be searched. Note that
 | 
						|
libraries specified with the B<-l> option that occur I<before> any B<-L> options
 | 
						|
will not search the paths given by the B<-L> options following it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-link-as-library>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Link the bytecode files together as a library, not an executable. In this mode,
 | 
						|
undefined symbols will be permitted.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-r>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An alias for -link-as-library.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-march=>C<target>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Specifies the kind of machine for which code or assembly should be generated.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-native>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generate a native binary instead of a shell script that runs the JIT from
 | 
						|
bytecode.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-native-cbe>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generate a native binary with the C back end and compilation with GCC.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-disable-compression>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Do not compress bytecode files.

=head2 Optimization Options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-O0>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An alias for the -O1 option.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-O1>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Optimize for linking speed, not execution speed. The optimizer will attempt to
 | 
						|
reduce the size of the linked program to reduce I/O but will not otherwise
 | 
						|
perform any link-time optimizations.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-O2>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Perform only the minimal or required set of scalar optimizations.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-03>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An alias for the -O2 option.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-04>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Perform the standard link time inter-procedural optimizations. This will 
 | 
						|
attempt to optimize the program taking the entire program into consideration.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-O5>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Perform aggressive link time optimizations. This is the same as -O4 but works
 | 
						|
more aggressively to optimize the program.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-disable-inlining>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Do not run the inlining pass. Functions will not be inlined into other
 | 
						|
functions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-disable-opt>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Completely disable optimization. The various B<-On> options will be ignored and
 | 
						|
no link time optimization passes will be run.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-disable-internalize>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Do not mark all symbols as internal.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-verify>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Run the verification pass after each of the passes to verify intermediate
 | 
						|
results.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-s>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Strip symbol info from the executable to make it smaller.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-export-dynamic>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An alias for -disable-internalize
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-load> F<module>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Load an optimization module, F<module>, which is expected to be a dynamic
 | 
						|
library that provides the function name C<RunOptimizations>. This function will
 | 
						|
be passed the PassManager, and the optimization level (values 0-5 based on the
 | 
						|
B<-On> option). This function may add passes to the PassManager that should be
 | 
						|
run. This feature allows the optimization passes of B<llvm-ld> to be extended.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-post-link-opt>F<Path>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Run post-link optimization program. After linking is completed a bytecode file
 | 
						|
will be generated. It will be passed to the program specified by F<Path> as the
 | 
						|
first argument. The second argument to the program will be the name of a
 | 
						|
temporary file into which the program should place its optimized output. For
 | 
						|
example, the "no-op optimization" would be a simple shell script:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#!/bin/bash
 | 
						|
cp $1 $2
 |

=head2 Miscellaneous Options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-v>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Specifies verbose mode. In this mode the linker will print additional
 | 
						|
information about the actions it takes, programs it executes, etc. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=back
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 EXIT STATUS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If B<llvm-ld> succeeds, it will exit with 0 return code.  If an error occurs,
 | 
						|
it will exit with a non-zero return code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The C<LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH> environment variable is used to find bytecode
 | 
						|
libraries. Any paths specified in this variable will be searched after the C<-L>
 | 
						|
options.
