llvm dev - Apr 2009 - [LLVMdev] Native Static Compilers Compatible with LLVM

Hello,

I have looked around the LLVM documentation, and tried to experiment with
static compilation.

So far It appears as though the assembly file is only compatible with GCC.

When I use llvm-ld it also appears to use GCC.

Is there any other assembler or compiler that can statically compile LLVM
output?

Thank you.

If you're generating a .s file for X86, you can specify the flavor of
assembly language on the command line like this:

llvm-gcc ... -mllvm -x86-asm-syntax=[att|intel]

Here's the relevant lines in the llc -help:

...
  -x86-asm-syntax                     - Choose style of code to emit
from X86 backend:
    =att                              -   Emit AT&T-style assembly
    =intel                            -   Emit Intel-style assembly

Other than that, the assembly isn't really GCC-specific. Any assembler
that can understand the different assembly language syntaxes should
work.

Initially it was thought to emit assembler compatible with MASM.
However, MASM is too weak to assemble something needed, for example,
for more or less non-trivial C++ (and sometimes even C!) source.
