<p>Welcome to LLVM! In order to get started, you first need to know some
|
|
|
|
|
basic information.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>First, LLVM comes in two pieces. The first piece is the LLVM suite. This
|
|
|
|
|
contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to use the low
|
|
|
|
|
level virtual machine. It contains an assembler, disassembler, bytecode
|
|
|
|
|
analyzer, and bytecode optimizer. It also contains a test suite that can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to test the LLVM tools and the GCC front end.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The second piece is the GCC front end. This component provides a version of
|
|
|
|
|
GCC that compiles C and C++ code into LLVM bytecode. Currently, the GCC front
|
|
|
|
|
end is a modified version of GCC 3.4 (we track the GCC 3.4 development). Once
|
|
|
|
|
compiled into LLVM bytecode, a program can be manipulated with the LLVM tools
|
|
|
|
|
from the LLVM suite.</p>

duplication. If you do not need many of the tools and you are space-conscious,
|
|
|
|
|
you can disable them individually in <tt>llvm/tools/Makefile</tt>. The Release

build requires considerably less space.</p>

<p>The LLVM suite <i>may</i> compile on other platforms, but it is not
|
|
|
|
|
guaranteed to do so. If compilation is successful, the LLVM utilities should be
|
|
|
|
|
able to assemble, disassemble, analyze, and optimize LLVM bytecode. Code
|
|
|
|
|
generation should work as well, although the generated native code may not work
|
|
|
|
|
on your platform.</p>

<p>Compiling LLVM requires that you have several software packages

installed. The table below lists those required packages. The Package column

is the usual name for the software package that LLVM depends on. The Version

column provides "known to work" versions of the package. The Notes column

describes how LLVM uses the package and provides other details.</p>

<p>LLVM is very demanding of the host C++ compiler, and as such tends to expose
|
|
|
|
|
bugs in the compiler. In particular, several versions of GCC crash when trying
|
|
|
|
|
to compile LLVM. We routinely use GCC 3.3.3 and GCC 3.4.0 and have had success
|
|
|
|
|
with them. Other versions of GCC will probably work as well. GCC versions listed
|
|
|
|
|
here are known to not work. If you are using one of these versions, please try
|
|
|
|
|
to upgrade your GCC to something more recent. If you run into a problem with a
|
|
|
|
|
version of GCC not listed here, please <a href="mailto:llvmdev@cs.uiuc.edu">let
|
|
|
|
|
us know</a>. Please use the "<tt>gcc -v</tt>" command to find out which version
|
|
|
|
|
of GCC you are using.

In order to compile and use LLVM, you will need to set some environment
|
|
|
|
|
variables. There are also some shell aliases which you may find useful.
|
|
|
|
|
You can set these on the command line, or better yet, set them in your
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>.cshrc</tt> or <tt>.profile</tt>.

If you have the LLVM distribution, you will need to unpack it before you
|
2003-12-18 16:43:17 +00:00
|
|
|
can begin to compile it. LLVM is distributed as a set of two files: the LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
suite and the LLVM GCC front end compiled for your platform. Each
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
file is a TAR archive that is compressed with the gzip program.

<p>Before configuring and compiling the LLVM suite, you need to extract the LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
GCC front end from the binary distribution. It is used for building the
|
|
|
|
|
bytecode libraries later used by the GCC front end for linking programs, and its
|
|
|
|
|
location must be specified when the LLVM suite is configured.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To install the GCC front end, do the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><tt>cd <i>where-you-want-the-front-end-to-live</i></tt></li>
|
2003-12-18 16:43:17 +00:00
|
|
|
<li><tt>gunzip --stdout cfrontend-<i>version</i>.<i>platform</i>.tar.gz | tar -xvf
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
-</tt></li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-12-18 16:43:17 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>If you are using Solaris/Sparc or MacOS X/PPC, you will need to fix the
|
|
|
|
|
header files:</p>
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2004-03-12 20:31:37 +00:00
|
|
|
<p><tt>cd cfrontend/<i>platform</i><br>
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
./fixheaders</tt></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The binary versions of the GCC front end may not suit all of your needs. For
|
|
|
|
|
example, the binary distribution may include an old version of a system header
|
|
|
|
|
file, not "fix" a header file that needs to be fixed for GCC, or it may be
|
|
|
|
|
linked with libraries not available on your system.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In cases like these, you may want to try <a

Enable the use of Povray as an external test. Versions of Povray written
|
|
|
|
|
in C should work. This option is similar to the <i>--enable-spec2000</i>
|
|
|
|
|
option.

<p>To configure LLVM, follow these steps:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Change directory into the object root directory:
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>cd <i>OBJ_ROOT</i></tt>
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Run the <tt>configure</tt> script located in the LLVM source tree:
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt><i>SRC_ROOT</i>/configure</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>In addition to running <tt>configure</tt>, you must set the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH</tt> environment variable in your startup scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
This environment variable is used to locate "system" libraries like
|
|
|
|
|
"<tt>-lc</tt>" and "<tt>-lm</tt>" when linking. This variable should be set to
|
2003-12-18 16:43:17 +00:00
|
|
|
the absolute path of the <tt>bytecode-libs</tt> subdirectory of the GCC front
|
|
|
|
|
end, or <i>LLVMGCCDIR</i>/<tt>bytecode-libs</tt>. For example, one might set
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH</tt> to
|
2003-12-18 16:43:17 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>/home/vadve/lattner/local/x86/llvm-gcc/bytecode-libs</tt> for the x86
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|

version of the GCC front end on our research machines.</p>

<p>Once you have configured LLVM, you can build it. There are three types of
|
|
|
|
|
builds:</p>
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2004-01-20 00:20:17 +00:00

|
|
|
<dt>Debug Builds
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
These builds are the default when one types <tt>gmake</tt> (unless the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>--enable-optimized</tt> option was used during configuration). The
|
|
|
|
|
build system will compile the tools and libraries with debugging
|
|
|
|
|
information.
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|

|
|
|
<dt>Release (Optimized) Builds
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
These builds are enabled with the <tt>--enable-optimized</tt> option to
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>configure</tt> or by specifying <tt>ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1</tt> on the
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>gmake</tt> command line. For these builds, the build system will
|
|
|
|
|
compile the tools and libraries with GCC optimizations enabled and strip
|
|
|
|
|
debugging information from the libraries and executables it generates.
|

|
|
|
<dt>Profile Builds
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
These builds are for use with profiling. They compile profiling
|
|
|
|
|
information into the code for use with programs like <tt>gprof</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
Profile builds must be started by specifying <tt>ENABLE_PROFILING=1</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
on the <tt>gmake</tt> command line.
|
|
|
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Once you have LLVM configured, you can build it by entering the
|
|
|
|
|
<i>OBJ_ROOT</i> directory and issuing the following command:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>gmake</tt></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-07-18 22:32:22 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>If the build fails, please <a href="#brokengcc">check here</a> to see if you
|
|
|
|
|
are using a known broken version of GCC to compile LLVM with.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you have multiple processors in your machine, you may wish to use some of
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
the parallel build options provided by GNU Make. For example, you could use the
|
|
|
|
|
command:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>gmake -j2</tt></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are several special targets which are useful when working with the LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
source code:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-01-20 00:20:17 +00:00
|
|
|
<dl>
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
<dt><tt>gmake clean</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
Removes all files generated by the build. This includes object files,
|
|
|
|
|
generated C/C++ files, libraries, and executables.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<dt><tt>gmake distclean</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
2004-08-21 23:40:49 +00:00
|
|
|
Removes everything that <tt>gmake clean</tt> does, but also removes files
|
|
|
|
|
generated by <tt>configure</tt>. It attempts to return the source tree to the
|
|
|
|
|
original state in which it was shipped.
|

|
|
|
<dt><tt>gmake install</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
Installs LLVM libraries and tools in a heirarchy under $PREFIX, specified with
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>./configure --prefix=[dir]</tt>, defaults to <tt>/usr/local</tt>.
|
|

Assuming you built LLVM into $OBJDIR, when this command is run, it will
|
|
|
|
|
install bytecode libraries into the GCC front end's bytecode library
|
|
|
|
|
directory. If you need to update your bytecode libraries,
|
2004-08-21 23:40:49 +00:00
|
|
|
this is the target to use once you've built them.

<p>It is also possible to override default values from <tt>configure</tt> by

declaring variables on the command line. The following are some examples:</p>

|
|
|
|
<dt><tt>gmake VERBOSE=1</tt>

</dl>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Every directory in the LLVM object tree includes a <tt>Makefile</tt> to build
|
|
|
|
|
it and any subdirectories that it contains. Entering any directory inside the
|
|
|
|
|
LLVM object tree and typing <tt>gmake</tt> should rebuild anything in or below
|
|
|
|
|
that directory that is out of date.</p>

<p>The LLVM build system is capable of sharing a single LLVM source tree among

|
|
|
|
several LLVM builds. Hence, it is possible to build LLVM for several different
|
|
|
|
|
platforms or configurations using the same source tree.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

<p>This is accomplished in the typical autoconf manner:</p>
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|

named after the build type:</p>

If you're running on a linux system that supports the "<a

|
|
|
|
|
module, and you have root access on the system, you can set your system up to
|
|
|
|
|
execute LLVM bytecode files directly. To do this, use commands like this (the
|
|
|
|
|
first command may not be required if you are already using the module):</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
$ mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
|
|
|
|
|
$ echo ':llvm:M::llvm::/path/to/lli:' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
|
|
|
|
|
$ chmod u+x hello.bc (if needed)
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./hello.bc
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|

This allows you to execute LLVM bytecode files directly. Thanks to Jack

<li>First, create a simple C file, name it 'hello.c':
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|

|
|
|
int main() {
|
|
|
|
|
printf("hello world\n");
|

|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
</pre></li>
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|
|
<li><p>Next, compile the C file into a LLVM bytecode file:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>% llvmgcc hello.c -o hello</tt></p>
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2004-06-22 18:48:58 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>Note that you should have already built the tools and they have to be
|
|
|
|
|
in your path, at least <tt>gccas</tt> and <tt>gccld</tt>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-11-07 19:43:14 +00:00
|
|

<p>This will create two result files: <tt>hello</tt> and
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>hello.bc</tt>. The <tt>hello.bc</tt> is the LLVM bytecode that
|
|
|
|
|
corresponds the the compiled program and the library facilities that it
|
|
|
|
|
required. <tt>hello</tt> is a simple shell script that runs the bytecode
|
2004-05-01 11:40:07 +00:00
|
|
|
file with <tt>lli</tt>, making the result directly executable. Note that
|

all LLVM optimizations are enabled by default, so there is no need for a

"-O3" switch.</p></li>
