78<p>Welcome to LLVM! In order to get started, you first need to know some
79basic information.</p>
80
81<p>First, LLVM comes in two pieces. The first piece is the LLVM suite. This
82contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to use the low
83level virtual machine. It contains an assembler, disassembler, bytecode
84analyzer, and bytecode optimizer. It also contains a test suite that can be
85used to test the LLVM tools and the GCC front end.</p>
86
87<p>The second piece is the GCC front end. This component provides a version of
88GCC that compiles C and C++ code into LLVM bytecode. Currently, the GCC front
89end is a modified version of GCC 3.4 (we track the GCC 3.4 development). Once
90compiled into LLVM bytecode, a program can be manipulated with the LLVM tools
91from the LLVM suite.</p>
92
John Criswell3d8ba512004-12-08 17:53:54 +0000[diff] [blame]93<p>
94There is a third, optional piece called llvm-test. It is a suite of programs
95with a testing harness that can be used to further test LLVM's functionality
96and performance.

494<p>LLVM is very demanding of the host C++ compiler, and as such tends to expose
495bugs in the compiler. In particular, several versions of GCC crash when trying

498probably work as well. GCC versions listed

Misha Brukman00c73d22003-11-07 19:43:14 +0000[diff] [blame]1504 <p>This will create two result files: <tt>hello</tt> and
John Criswell85ed3612003-06-12 19:34:44 +0000[diff] [blame]1505 <tt>hello.bc</tt>. The <tt>hello.bc</tt> is the LLVM bytecode that
1506 corresponds the the compiled program and the library facilities that it
1507 required. <tt>hello</tt> is a simple shell script that runs the bytecode
Chris Lattnera19a3db2004-05-01 11:40:07 +0000[diff] [blame]1508 file with <tt>lli</tt>, making the result directly executable. Note that
1509 all LLVM optimizations are enabled by default, so there is no need for a
1510 "-O3" switch.</p></li>
