Hi Iulia,
This is really weird - the Hello pass from LLVM definitely works (I run
it occasionally for reference).
"Infinite loop" might mean that you're missing an argument - opt
will
wait indefinitely until all positional argument are specified (i.e. the
*.ll file to process). I might be wrong here - that's just my experience
with opt.
Let's take a step back and focus on LLVMHello.so - could you send the
following:
1. Your input *.c (well, just copy and paste the contents here)
2. The command that you use to generate the *.ll file
3. The command that you use to run the Hello pass
4. The command that you used to build LLVM (in particular, LLVMHello.so)
Cheers,
Andrzej
