[LLVMdev] How to compile apps to bc files with the new llvm-gcc4?
Hi,
I'm trying to compile some apps with the new llvm-gcc4 on amd64 linux
to .bc files, rather than to the native code. The same process I used to
build those apps before with llvm-gcc3 doesn't work:
1)
export CC=llvm-gcc CXX=llvm-g++ CFLAGS="-g -fno-inline"
CXXFLAGS="-g
-fno-inline"
2) cd <whatever-app>; ./configure
3) make CFLAGS+=-emit-llvm CXXFLAGS+=-emit-llvm
[Reid told me not to pass -emit-llvm to configure scripts.]
The process fails for the same reason on several apps I tried:
--------------------------------------------------------------
$ llvm-gcc -shared .libs/libdspam.o .libs/heap.o .libs/diction.o
.libs/base64.o .libs/buffer.o .libs/util.o .libs/nodetree.o

Using built-in specs.

--------------------------------------------------------------
If I execute the last command manually with llvm-ld, removing -shared
and -Wl, it goes through.
So, obviously I'm doing something wrong.
What do I need to change in the build process to compile the same apps
I could compile before with llvm-gcc3 to bc files?
Thx in advance,

Unless I'm missing something, the problem lies directly with the fact that you are trying to do a link-stage operation with the GCC frontend. GCC, by default, probably runs "ld" or another system linker, which grabs the executable from binutils. This linker hasn't been modified (yet) to include support for .bc files, but you're compiler is emitting byte code to the *.o files. That is why the linker barfs, and tries to interpret as a script. I am actually planning on working on integration between binutils' ld and LLVM to allow just this functionality. I'll be working on this over the holidays, and hopefully will get something working by mid January. Until then, directly using the LLVM linking facilities to handle the bytecode is probably the best if not only option. -Chandler PS: I'm still kinda new, so someone else may come along and correct me, but that's the best I can figure out...

He just wants to get a single linked .bc file for each program. llvm-gcc3 used to do this because it linked with gccld which produces a .bc file and a shell script for running that bc file with lli. I suggested to him that he change his makefiles to simply link the llvm-gcc4 produced bytecode files with gccld as did llvm-gcc3.> I am actually planning on working on integration between binutils' ld > and LLVM to allow just this functionality.

This will be a great addition to LLVM (and binutils) that will make using bytecode more transparent than ever.> > -Chandler > > PS: I'm still kinda new, so someone else may come along and correct > me, but that's the best I can figure out...You got it right, Chandler :) Reid.> > On 12/10/06, Domagoj Babic <babic.domagoj at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to compile some apps with the new llvm-gcc4 on > amd64 linux > to .bc files, rather than to the native code.
