Misha Brukman94082392003-10-31 18:37:20 +0000[diff] [blame]48<p>If you're working with LLVM and run into a bug, we definitely want to know
49about it. This document describes what you can do to increase the odds of
50getting it fixed quickly.</p>
51
52<p>Basically you have to do two things at a minimum. First, decide whether the
53bug <a href="#crashers">crashes the compiler</a> (or an LLVM pass), or if the
Chris Lattner8b6be362003-05-21 22:21:07 +0000[diff] [blame]54compiler is <a href="#miscompilations">miscompiling</a> the program. Based on
55what type of bug it is, follow the instructions in the linked section to narrow
56down the bug so that the person who fixes it will be able to find the problem
Misha Brukman94082392003-10-31 18:37:20 +0000[diff] [blame]57more easily.</p>

84<p>More often than not, bugs in the compiler cause it to crash - often due to an
Chris Lattner8b6be362003-05-21 22:21:07 +0000[diff] [blame]85assertion failure of some sort. If you are running <tt><b>opt</b></tt> or

87<a href="#passes">bugs in LLVM passes</a>. Otherwise, the most important
88piece of the puzzle is to figure out if it is the GCC-based front-end that is

Misha Brukman300e74b2004-05-12 00:57:24 +0000[diff] [blame]233thing to check is to make sure it is not using undefined behavior. In
234particular, check to see if the program <a

Chris Lattner8436c212004-05-11 19:34:27 +0000[diff] [blame]236other memory checker tool. Many of the "LLVM bugs" that we have chased down
237ended up being bugs in the program being compiled, not LLVM.</p>
238
239<p>Once you determine that the program itself is not buggy, you should choose
240which code generator you wish to compile the program with (e.g. C backend, the
241JIT, or LLC) and optionally a series of LLVM passes to run. For example:</p>
