=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:
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item I<x86>
|
|
|
|
Intel IA-32 (Pentium and above)
|
|
|
|
=item I<ppc32>
|
|
|

32-bit PowerPC (MacOS X, 32-bit ABI)
|
|

|
|

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.

=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
|

|
=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
|

|
|
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|

|
|
it will exit with a non-zero value.
