+Getting Started with the LLVM System using Microsoft Visual Studio

+Overview
+========
+Welcome to LLVM on Windows! This document only covers LLVM on Windows using
+Visual Studio, not mingw or cygwin. In order to get started, you first need to
+know some basic information.
+
+There are many different projects that compose LLVM. The first is the LLVM
+suite. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to
+use LLVM. It contains an assembler, disassembler,
+bitcode analyzer and bitcode optimizer. It also contains a test suite that can
+be used to test the LLVM tools.
+
+Another useful project on Windows is `Clang <http://clang.llvm.org/>`_.
+Clang is a C family ([Objective]C/C++) compiler. Clang mostly works on
+Windows, but does not currently understand all of the Microsoft extensions
+to C and C++. Because of this, clang cannot parse the C++ standard library
+included with Visual Studio, nor parts of the Windows Platform SDK. However,
+most standard C programs do compile. Clang can be used to emit bitcode,
+directly emit object files or even linked executables using Visual Studio's
+``link.exe``.
+
+The large LLVM test suite cannot be run on the Visual Studio port at this
+time.
+
+Most of the tools build and work.  ``bugpoint`` does build, but does
+not work.
+
+Additional information about the LLVM directory structure and tool chain
+can be found on the main `Getting Started <GettingStarted.html>`_ page.
+
+
+Requirements
+============
+Before you begin to use the LLVM system, review the requirements given
+below.  This may save you some trouble by knowing ahead of time what hardware
+and software you will need.
+
+Hardware
+--------
+Any system that can adequately run Visual Studio 2008 is fine. The LLVM
+source tree and object files, libraries and executables will consume
+approximately 3GB.
+
+Software
+--------
+You will need Visual Studio 2008 or higher.  Earlier versions of Visual
+Studio have bugs, are not completely compatible, or do not support the C++
+standard well enough.
+
+You will also need the `CMake <http://www.cmake.org/>`_ build system since it
+generates the project files you will use to build with.
+
+If you would like to run the LLVM tests you will need `Python
+<http://www.python.org/>`_. Versions 2.4-2.7 are known to work. You will need
+`GnuWin32 <http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/>`_ tools, too.
+
+Do not install the LLVM directory tree into a path containing spaces (e.g.
+``C:\Documents and Settings\...``) as the configure step will fail.
+
+
+Getting Started
+===============
+Here's the short story for getting up and running quickly with LLVM:
+
+1. Read the documentation.
+2. Seriously, read the documentation.
+3. Remember that you were warned twice about reading the documentation.
+4. Get the Source Code
+
+   * With the distributed files:
+
+      1. ``cd <where-you-want-llvm-to-live>``
+      2. ``gunzip --stdout llvm-VERSION.tar.gz | tar -xvf -``
+         (*or use WinZip*)
+      3. ``cd llvm``
+
+   * With anonymous Subversion access:
+
+      1. ``cd <where-you-want-llvm-to-live>``
+      2. ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm``
+      3. ``cd llvm``
+
+5. Use `CMake <http://www.cmake.org/>`_ to generate up-to-date project files:
+
+   * Once CMake is installed then the simplest way is to just start the
+     CMake GUI, select the directory where you have LLVM extracted to, and
+     the default options should all be fine.  One option you may really
+     want to change, regardless of anything else, might be the
+     ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` setting to select a directory to INSTALL to
+     once compiling is complete, although installation is not mandatory for
+     using LLVM.  Another important option is ``LLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD``,
+     which controls the LLVM target architectures that are included on the
+     build.
+   * See the `LLVM CMake guide <CMake.html>`_ for detailed information about
+     how to configure the LLVM build.
+
+6. Start Visual Studio
+
+   * In the directory you created the project files will have an ``llvm.sln``
+     file, just double-click on that to open Visual Studio.
+
+7. Build the LLVM Suite:
+
+   * The projects may still be built individually, but to build them all do
+     not just select all of them in batch build (as some are meant as
+     configuration projects), but rather select and build just the
+     ``ALL_BUILD`` project to build everything, or the ``INSTALL`` project,
+     which first builds the ``ALL_BUILD`` project, then installs the LLVM
+     headers, libs, and other useful things to the directory set by the
+     ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` setting when you first configured CMake.
+   * The Fibonacci project is a sample program that uses the JIT. Modify the
+     project's debugging properties to provide a numeric command line argument
+     or run it from the command line.  The program will print the
+     corresponding fibonacci value.
+
+8. Test LLVM on Visual Studio:
+
+   * If ``%PATH%`` does not contain GnuWin32, you may specify
+     ``LLVM_LIT_TOOLS_DIR`` on CMake for the path to GnuWin32.
+   * You can run LLVM tests by merely building the project "check". The test
+     results will be shown in the VS output window.
+
+.. FIXME: Is it up-to-date?
+
+9. Test LLVM:
+
+   * The LLVM tests can be run by changing directory to the llvm source
+     directory and running:
+
+     .. code-block:: bat
+
+        C:\..\llvm> llvm-lit test
+
+     Note that quite a few of these test will fail.
+
+     A specific test or test directory can be run with:
+
+     .. code-block:: bat
+
+        C:\..\llvm> llvm-lit test/path/to/test
+
+
+An Example Using the LLVM Tool Chain
+====================================
+
+1. First, create a simple C file, name it '``hello.c``':
+
+   .. code-block:: c
+
+      #include <stdio.h>
+      int main() {
+        printf("hello world\n");
+        return 0;
+      }
+
+2. Next, compile the C file into a LLVM bitcode file:
+
+   .. code-block:: bat
+
+      C:\..> clang -c hello.c -emit-llvm -o hello.bc
+
+   This will create the result file ``hello.bc`` which is the LLVM bitcode
+   that corresponds the the compiled program and the library facilities that
+   it required.  You can execute this file directly using ``lli`` tool,
+   compile it to native assembly with the ``llc``, optimize or analyze it
+   further with the ``opt`` tool, etc.
+
+   Alternatively you can directly output an executable with clang with:
+
+   .. code-block:: bat
+
+      C:\..> clang hello.c -o hello.exe
+
+   The ``-o hello.exe`` is required because clang currently outputs ``a.out``
+   when neither ``-o`` nor ``-c`` are given.
+
+3. Run the program using the just-in-time compiler:
+
+   .. code-block:: bat
+
+      C:\..> lli hello.bc
+
+4. Use the ``llvm-dis`` utility to take a look at the LLVM assembly code:
+
+   .. code-block:: bat
+
+      C:\..> llvm-dis < hello.bc | more
+
+5. Compile the program to object code using the LLC code generator:
+
+   .. code-block:: bat
+
+      C:\..> llc -filetype=obj hello.bc
+
+6. Link to binary using Microsoft link:
+
+   .. code-block:: bat
+
+      C:\..> link hello.obj -defaultlib:libcmt
+
+7. Execute the native code program:
+
+   .. code-block:: bat
+
+      C:\..> hello.exe
+
