llvm dev - Apr 2016 - Can a bc file generated by the windows version llvm run with the linux version llvm?

I generated a bc with a windows version llvm, and wanted to run it with a
linux version llvm. However,  it can't.

 

LLVM IR has a unify format, doesn't it? why can't a bc file be
recognized by
llvm backend?

 

Thank you.

LLVM IR is machine-independent. That doesn't mean it is portable between
different environments.

Things that can make an IR file not portable between different OSes include:

- different sizes or alignments for data types
- different struct layout and padding, even for structs declared
identically in C
- different encoded names of C or C++ functions from external libraries
(even as simple as _ or not)
- different values for #defines and enums from system headers
- completely different members, layout, sizes in structs from system headers
