Seem the option `-fpass-plugin=<path to plugin>` to clang brings the plugin to Clang Plugins(frontend).A Clang plugin, which works on AST, custom pragma or attribute, is different from a LLVM pass plugin (works on LLVM IR). This flag is designated for LLVM pass plugin.> There is a comment around the keyword, -fpass-plugin, "Forward -fpass-plugin=name.so to -cc1". Did I understand it correctly? >The code you referenced is part of the clang driver, who simply relays `-fpass-plugin` flag to the frontend. The flag is eventually consumed by clang CodeGen at this palce: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/713ee230f884651afd17ab7b910e85a992ce406b/clang/lib/CodeGen/BackendUtil.cpp#L1321 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/713ee230f884651afd17ab7b910e85a992ce406b/clang/lib/CodeGen/BackendUtil.cpp#L1321> Which uses `llvm::PassPlugin::Load` to load your custom pass plugin into the LLVM pass pipeline.

I have searched online on how to build clang plugins and I found [1]. I wanted to use the example that prints all the function names but, despite the fact that I followed the instructions, I could not compile it :) > > I searched again and I found [2] and hopefully In this case I could build and run the basic hello-world example. I then tried to just replace the HelloWorld.cpp with the example that print the functions names but no luck. I compile but I have an error message.

This project, via an llvm pass, is able to modify the IR code and to inject calls to a backend which allows symbolic execution.

Now my question is: is it possible to run the same pass via clang and just obtain the modified IR code? I'd like to avoid to use opt if not mandatory. Is it possible to do it or the new pass manager forces me to use opt? >> >> How would you fix this situation in symcc? >> >> If someone could tell me how to load a ModulePass in clang-13 would be great. >> >> Thanks a lot >> Alberto >> >> [1] https://github.com/eurecom-s3/symcc <https://github.com/eurecom-s3/symcc> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> LLVM Developers mailing list >> llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org <mailto:llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> >> https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev <https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev> > > _______________________________________________ > LLVM Developers mailing list > llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org <mailto:llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> > https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev <https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev>-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
