=head1 NAME
llc - LLVM static compiler
=head1 SYNOPSIS
llc [options] [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.
=back
=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:
=over
=item I<x86>
Intel IA-32 (Pentium and above)
=item I<sparcv9>
64-bit SPARC V9
=item I<c>
Emit C code, not assembly
=back
=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<-help>
Print a summary of command line options.
=item B<-stats>
Print statistics recorded by code-generation passes.
=item B<-time-passes>
Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print a report to standard
error.
=back
=head2 Intel IA-32-specific Options
=over
=item B<--disable-fp-elim>
Disable frame pointer elimination optimization.
=item B<--disable-pattern-isel>
Use the 'simple' X86 instruction selector (the default).
=item B<--print-machineinstrs>
Print generated machine code.
=item B<--regalloc>=I<allocator>
Specify the register allocator to use. The default I<allocator> is I<local>.
Valid register allocators are:
=over
=item I<simple>
Very simple "always spill" register allocator
=item I<local>
Local register allocator
=item I<linearscan>
Linear scan global register allocator (experimental)
=back
=item B<--spiller>=I<spiller>
Specify the spiller to use for register allocators that support it. Currently
this option is used only by the linear scan register allocator. The default
I<spiller> is I<local>. Valid spillers are:
=over
=item I<simple>
Simple spiller
=item I<local>
Local spiller
=back
=back
=head2 SPARCV9-specific Options
=over
=item B<--disable-peephole>
Disable peephole optimization pass.
=item B<--disable-sched>
Disable local scheduling pass.
=item B<--disable-strip>
The Sparc backend embeds the LLVM bytecode into the assembly output. This
option requests that symbol names be retained; by default, they are stripped out.
=item B<--enable-maps>
Emit LLVM-to-machine code mapping information into the assembly output.
=back
=head1 EXIT STATUS
If B<llc> succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs,
it will exit with a non-zero value.

=head1 NAME
lli - directly execute programs from LLVM bytecode
=head1 SYNOPSIS
lli [options] [filename] [args ...]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<lli> directly executes programs in LLVM bytecode format. It takes a program in
LLVM bytecode format and executes it using a just-in-time compiler, if one is
available for the current architecture, or an interpreter. B<lli> takes
all of the same code generator options as L<llc|llc>, but they are only effective
when B<lli> is using the just-in-time compiler.
If I<filename> is not specified, then B<lli> reads the LLVM bytecode for the
program from standard input.
The optional I<args> specified on the command line are passed to the program as
arguments.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item B<-help>
Print a summary of command line options.
=item B<-stats>
Print statistics from the code-generation passes. This is only meaningful for
the just-in-time compiler, at present.
=item B<-time-passes>
Record the amount of time needed for each code-generation pass and print it to
standard error.
=item B<-march>=I<arch>
Use the specified non-default architecture arch when selecting a code generator
for the just-in-time compiler. This may result in a crash if you pick an
architecture which is not compatible with the hardware you are running B<lli> on.
=item B<-force-interpreter>=I<{false,true}>
If set to true, use the interpreter even if a just-in-time compiler is available
for this architecture. Defaults to false.
=item B<-f>=I<name>
Call the function named I<name> to start the program. Note: The
function is assumed to have the C signature C<int> I<name> C<(int,
char **, char **)>. If you try to use this option to call a function of
incompatible type, undefined behavior may result. Defaults to C<main>.
=back
=head1 EXIT STATUS
If B<lli> fails to load the program, it will exit with an exit code of 1.
Otherwise, it will return the exit code of the program it executes.
