llvm dev - Apr 2010 - [LLVMdev] .so file creation for new passes

Hello,

I was going through the LLVM docs "writing an LLVM Pass". Can someone
tell
me how to create the Hello.so file as it is said in the document. It talks
about compiling the Hello pass using gmake. I am a Windows user (windows 7,
cmake, visual studio 9 2008). I cant use cmake here as this hello pass has
links to the llvm's solution file, I mean It uses some of the header files
from llvm's solution file. Do I need to modify the program or the
CMakeLists.txt file.?
And where can I find this loadable Hello.so file ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi !

The Hello world pass sources are in llvm/lib/Transform/Hello/*

If you compile llvm, the Hello library will be compiled too. It's not
installed but it's in build_directory/Debug/lib/LLVMHello.so (or in
build_directory/Release/lib/LLVMHello.so)

Olivier.

will not be create and you can not run it as "
http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html#quickstart" describe.

Loadable passes are not supported on windows due to lack of OS dynamic
linking support (and I doubt they will be supported ever).
