| =head1 NAME |
| |
| llvm-g++ - LLVM C++ front-end |
| |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| |
| B<llvm-g++> [I<options>] I<filename> |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| The B<llvm-g++> command is the LLVM C++ front end. It is a modified |
| version of g++ that takes C++ programs and compiles them into LLVM |
| bytecode or assembly language, depending upon the options. |
| |
| Unless the B<-S> option is specified, B<llvm-g++> will use the |
| L<gccas|gccas> program to perform some optimizations and create an |
| LLVM bytecode file. Unless the B<-c> option is specified, B<llvm-g++> |
| will also use the L<gccld|gccld> program to perform further |
| optimizations and link the resulting bytecode file(s) with support |
| libraries to create an executable program. |
| |
| Being derived from the GNU Compiler Collection, B<llvm-g++> has many |
| of g++'s features and accepts most of g++'s options. It handles a |
| number of g++'s extensions to the C++ programming language. |
| |
| =head1 OPTIONS |
| |
| =over |
| |
| =item B<--help> |
| |
| Print a summary of command line options. |
| |
| =item B<-S> |
| |
| Do not generate an LLVM bytecode file. Rather, compile the source |
| file into an LLVM assembly language file. |
| |
| =item B<-c> |
| |
| Do not generate a linked executable. Rather, compile the source |
| file into an LLVM bytecode file. This bytecode file can then be |
| linked with other bytecode files later on to generate a full LLVM |
| executable. |
| |
| =item B<-o> I<filename> |
| |
| Specify the output file to be I<filename>. |
| |
| =item B<-I> I<directory> |
| |
| Add a directory to the header file search path. This option can be |
| repeated. |
| |
| =item B<-L> I<directory> |
| |
| Add I<directory> to the library search path. This option can be |
| repeated. |
| |
| =item B<-l>I<name> |
| |
| Link in the library libI<name>.[bc | a | so]. This library should |
| be a bytecode library. |
| |
| =item B<-Wl,>I<option> |
| |
| Pass I<option> to the linker (usually gccld). |
| |
| =back |
| |
| =head1 EXIT STATUS |
| |
| If B<llvm-g++> succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error |
| occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value. |
