 | 80 | <p>Welcome to LLVM! In order to get started, you first need to know some | 
 | 81 | basic information.</p> | 
 | 82 |  | 
| Andrew Trick | bcf0116 | 2010-09-23 20:26:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 83 | <p>First, LLVM comes in three pieces. The first piece is the LLVM | 
 | 84 | suite. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files | 
 | 85 | needed to use the low level virtual machine.  It contains an | 
 | 86 | assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer and bitcode optimizer.  It | 
 | 87 | also contains basic regression tests that can be used to test the LLVM | 
 | 88 | tools and the GCC front end.</p> | 
| Misha Brukman | 00c73d2 | 2003-11-07 19:43:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 89 |  | 
 | 90 | <p>The second piece is the GCC front end.  This component provides a version of | 
| Gabor Greif | 04367bf | 2007-07-06 22:07:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 91 | GCC that compiles C and C++ code into LLVM bitcode.  Currently, the GCC front | 
| Chris Lattner | 82ad9f1 | 2007-03-06 06:27:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 92 | end uses the GCC parser to convert code to LLVM.  Once | 
| Gabor Greif | 04367bf | 2007-07-06 22:07:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 93 | compiled into LLVM bitcode, a program can be manipulated with the LLVM tools | 
| Misha Brukman | 00c73d2 | 2003-11-07 19:43:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 94 | from the LLVM suite.</p> | 
 | 95 |  | 
| John Criswell | 3d8ba51 | 2004-12-08 17:53:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 96 | <p> | 
| Andrew Trick | bcf0116 | 2010-09-23 20:26:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 97 | There is a third, optional piece called Test Suite.  It is a suite of programs | 
| John Criswell | 3d8ba51 | 2004-12-08 17:53:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 98 | with a testing harness that can be used to further test LLVM's functionality | 
 | 99 | and performance. |

 | 521 | of GCC will probably work as well.  GCC versions listed | 
| Chris Lattner | 95e9258 | 2004-07-18 22:32:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 522 | here are known to not work.  If you are using one of these versions, please try | 
 | 523 | to upgrade your GCC to something more recent.  If you run into a problem with a | 
 | 524 | version of GCC not listed here, please <a href="mailto:llvmdev@cs.uiuc.edu">let |

 | 831 | <div> | 
 | 832 | <p> | 
 | 833 | Please read <a href="DeveloperPolicy.html#patches">Developer Policy</a>, too. | 
 | 834 | </p> | 
 | 835 |  | 
 | 836 | <p> | 
 | 837 | Assume <tt>master</tt> points the upstream and <tt>mybranch</tt> points your | 
 | 838 | working branch, and <tt>mybranch</tt> is rebased onto <tt>master</tt>. | 
 | 839 | At first you may check sanity of whitespaces: | 
 | 840 | </p> | 
 | 841 |  | 
 | 842 | <pre class="doc_code"> | 
 | 843 | git diff --check master..mybranch | 
 | 844 | </pre> | 
 | 845 |  | 
 | 846 | <p> | 
 | 847 | The easiest way to generate a patch is as below: | 
 | 848 | </p> | 
 | 849 |  | 
 | 850 | <pre class="doc_code"> | 
 | 851 | git diff master..mybranch > /path/to/mybranch.diff | 
 | 852 | </pre> | 
 | 853 |  | 
 | 854 | <p> | 
 | 855 | It is a little different from svn-generated diff. git-diff-generated diff has | 
 | 856 | prefixes like <tt>a/</tt> and <tt>b/</tt>. Don't worry, most developers might | 
 | 857 | know it could be accepted with <tt>patch -p1 -N</tt>. | 
 | 858 | </p> | 
 | 859 |  | 
 | 860 | <p> | 
 | 861 | But you may generate patchset with git-format-patch. It generates | 
 | 862 | by-each-commit patchset. To generate patch files to attach to your article: | 
 | 863 | </p> | 
 | 864 |  | 
 | 865 | <pre class="doc_code"> | 
 | 866 | git format-patch --no-attach master..mybranch -o /path/to/your/patchset | 
 | 867 | </pre> | 
 | 868 |  | 
 | 869 | <p> | 
 | 870 | If you would like to send patches directly, you may use git-send-email or | 
 | 871 | git-imap-send. Here is an example to generate the patchset in Gmail's [Drafts]. | 
 | 872 | </p> | 
 | 873 |  | 
 | 874 | <pre class="doc_code"> | 
 | 875 | git format-patch --attach master..mybranch --stdout | git imap-send | 
 | 876 | </pre> | 
 | 877 |  | 
 | 878 | <p> | 
 | 879 | Then, your .git/config should have [imap] sections. | 
 | 880 | </p> | 
 | 881 |  | 
 | 882 | <pre class="doc_code"> | 
 | 883 | [imap] |

 | 989 | <a href="http://mingw.org/">MinGW</a> into your front end installation directory.  While the | 
 | 990 | front end installation steps are not quite the same as a typical manual MinGW installation, | 
 | 991 | they should be similar enough to those who have previously installed MinGW on Windows systems.</p> |

| Jim Grosbach | 18df1d4 | 2009-12-17 17:18:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 993 | <p>To install binutils on Windows:</p> |

 | 995 | <ol> | 
 | 996 |   <li><tt><i>download GNU Binutils from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/">MinGW Downloads</a></i></tt></li> |

 | 1000 |  | 
 | 1001 | <p>The binary versions of the LLVM GCC front end may not suit all of your needs.  For | 
 | 1002 | example, the binary distribution may include an old version of a system header | 
 | 1003 | file, not "fix" a header file that needs to be fixed for GCC, or it may be linked with | 
 | 1004 | libraries not available on your system.  In cases like these, you may want to try | 
 | 1005 | <a href="GCCFEBuildInstrs.html">building the GCC front end from source</a>.  Thankfully, | 
 | 1006 | this is much easier now than it was in the past.</p> | 
 | 1007 |  | 
 | 1008 | <p>We also do not currently support updating of the GCC front end by manually overlaying | 
 | 1009 | newer versions of the w32api and mingw-runtime binary packages that may become available | 
 | 1010 | from MinGW.  At this time, it's best to think of the MinGW LLVM GCC front end binary as | 
 | 1011 | a self-contained convenience package that requires Windows users to simply download and | 
 | 1012 | uncompress the GNU Binutils binary package from the MinGW project.</p> | 
 | 1013 |  | 
 | 1014 | <p>Regardless of your platform, if you discover that installing the LLVM GCC front end | 
 | 1015 | binaries is not as easy as previously described, or you would like to suggest improvements, | 
 | 1016 | please let us know how you would like to see things improved by dropping us a note on our |

| Jim Grosbach | 5bea822 | 2009-04-17 17:25:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1283 |   <p>It is possible to cross-compile LLVM itself. That is, you can create LLVM | 
 | 1284 |   executables and libraries to be hosted on a platform different from the | 
 | 1285 |   platform where they are build (a Canadian Cross build). To configure a | 
 | 1286 |   cross-compile, supply the configure script with <tt>--build</tt> and | 
 | 1287 |   <tt>--host</tt> options that are different. The values of these options must | 
 | 1288 |   be legal target triples that your GCC compiler supports.</p> | 
 | 1289 |  | 
 | 1290 |   <p>The result of such a build is executables that are not runnable on | 
 | 1291 |   on the build host (--build option) but can be executed on the compile host |
