<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
|
2003-09-12 15:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-10-07 20:12:05 +00:00
|
|
|
The <tt>llc</tt> 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.
|
2003-09-29 20:10:08 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The choice of architecture for the output assembly code is determined as
|
|
|
|
|
follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
If the user has specified an architecture with the -m option, use that
|
|
|
|
|
architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Examine the input LLVM bytecode file:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
If it specifies little endian and a pointer size of 32 bits, select the
|
|
|
|
|
x86 architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
If it specifies big endian and a pointer size of 64 bit pointers,
|
|
|
|
|
select the SparcV9 architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
2003-10-07 20:12:05 +00:00
|
|
|
If <tt>llc</tt> was compiled on an architecture for which it can
|
|
|
|
|
generate code, select the architecture upon which <tt>llc</tt> was
|
|
|
|
|
compiled.
|
2003-09-29 20:10:08 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Print a message to the user asking him or her to specify the output
|
|
|
|
|
architecture explicitly.
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-10-07 20:12:05 +00:00
|
|
|
If filename is not specified, or if filename is -, <tt>llc</tt> reads its input
|
|
|
|
|
from standard input. Otherwise, it will read its input from filename.
|
2003-09-29 20:10:08 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-10-07 20:12:05 +00:00
|
|
|
If the -o option is left unspecified, then <tt>llc</tt> will send its output to standard
|
2003-09-29 20:10:08 +00:00
|
|
|
output if the input is from standard input. If the -o option specifies -, then
|
|
|
|
|
the output will also be sent to standard output.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no -o option is specified and an input file other than - is specified, then
|
2003-10-07 20:12:05 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>llc</tt> creates the output filename as follows:
|
2003-09-29 20:10:08 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
If the file ends in .bc, then the .bc suffix is removed, and the .s suffix
|
|
|
|
|
is appended.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, the .s suffix is appended to the input filename.
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
