| =head1 NAME |
| |
| lli - directly execute programs from LLVM bytecode |
| |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| |
| lli [options] [filename] [args ...] |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| B<lli> directly executes programs in LLVM bytecode format. It takes a program in |
| LLVM bytecode format and executes it using a just-in-time compiler, if one is |
| available for the current architecture, or an interpreter. B<lli> takes |
| all of the same code generator options as L<llc|llc>, but they are only effective |
| when B<lli> is using the just-in-time compiler. |
| |
| If I<filename> is not specified, then B<lli> reads the LLVM bytecode for the |
| program from standard input. |
| |
| The optional I<args> specified on the command line are passed to the program as |
| arguments. |
| |
| =head1 OPTIONS |
| |
| =over |
| |
| =item B<-help> |
| |
| Print a summary of command line options. |
| |
| =item B<-stats> |
| |
| Print statistics from the code-generation passes. This is only meaningful for |
| the just-in-time compiler, at present. |
| |
| =item B<-time-passes> |
| |
| Record the amount of time needed for each code-generation pass and print it to |
| standard error. |
| |
| =item B<-march>=I<arch> |
| |
| Use the specified non-default architecture arch when selecting a code generator |
| for the just-in-time compiler. This may result in a crash if you pick an |
| architecture which is not compatible with the hardware you are running B<lli> on. |
| |
| =item B<-force-interpreter>=I<{false,true}> |
| |
| If set to true, use the interpreter even if a just-in-time compiler is available |
| for this architecture. Defaults to false. |
| |
| =item B<-f>=I<name> |
| |
| Call the function named I<name> to start the program. Note: The |
| function is assumed to have the C signature C<int> I<name> C<(int, |
| char **, char **)>. If you try to use this option to call a function of |
| incompatible type, undefined behavior may result. Defaults to C<main>. |
| |
| =back |
| |
| =head1 EXIT STATUS |
| |
| If B<lli> fails to load the program, it will exit with an exit code of 1. |
| Otherwise, it will return the exit code of the program it executes. |
