<h3>
NAME
</h3>
analyze
<h3>
SYNOPSIS
</h3>
analyze [options] &lt; filename&gt;
<h3>
DESCRIPTION
</h3>
The analyze command performs various analysis of LLVM bytecode. It will
usually print the results on standard output, but in a few cases it will print
output to standard error or generate a file with the analysis output (which is
usually done when generating output for another program).
<h3>
OPTIONS
</h3>
<ul>
<li> -help
<br>
Print a summary of command line options.
<p>
<li> -stats
<br>
Print statistics.
<p>
<li> -time-passes
<br>
Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
error.
<p>
<li> -q
<br>
Quiet mode. With this option, analysis pass names are not printed.
<p>
<li> -load &lt;plugin.so&gt;
<br>
Load the specified dynamic object with name plugin.so. This file
should contain additional analysis passes that register themselves with
the analyze program after being loaded.
<p>
After being loaded, additional command line options are made available
for running additional analysis passes. Use analyse -load
&lt;plugin.so&gt; -help to list the new list of available analysis
passes.
<p>
</ul>
<h3>
EXIT STATUS
</h3>
If analyze succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it
will exit with a non-zero value.

<h3>
NAME
</h3>
gccas
<h3>
SYNOPSIS
</h3>
gccas [options] &lt; filename&gt;
<h3>
DESCRIPTION
</h3>
The gccas utility takes an LLVM assembly file generated by GCC and converts it
into an LLVM bytecode file. It is primarily used by the GCC front end, and as
such, attempts to mimic the interface provided by the default system assembler
so that it can act as a "drop-in" replacement.
<h3>
OPTIONS
</h3>
<ul>
<li> -help
<br>
Print a summary of command line options.
<p>
<li> -o &lt;filename&gt;
<br>
Specify the output filename which will hold the assembled bytecode.
<p>
<li> -stats
<br>
Print statistics.
<p>
<li> -time-passes
<br>
Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
error.
<p>
<li> -verify
<br>
Verify each pass result.
<p>
</ul>
<h3>
EXIT STATUS
</h3>
If gccas succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it
will exit with a non-zero value.

<h3>
NAME
</h3>
gccld
<h3>
SYNOPSIS
</h3>
gccld [options] &lt; filename&gt;
<h3>
DESCRIPTION
</h3>
The gccld utility takes a set of LLVM bytecode files GCC and links them
together into a single LLVM bytecode file. It will link in any LLVM bytecode
libraries that are necessary to make a single LLVM "bytecode executable."
<p>
The gccld utility is primarily used by the GCC front end, and as such, attempts
to mimic the interface provided by the default system linker so that it can act
as a "drop-in" replacement.

Print a summary of command line options.
<p>
<li> -o &lt;filename&gt;

Specify the output filename which will hold the assembled bytecode.
<p>
<li> -stats
<br>
Print statistics.
<p>
<li> -time-passes

Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
error.
<p>
<li> -verify
<br>
Verify each pass result.
<p>
<li> -L=&lt;directory&gt;
<br>
Add directory to the list of directories to search when looking for
libraries.

<br>
Do not mark all symbols as internal.

<p>
<li> -link-as-library

<p>
<li> -s
<br>
Strip symbol information from the generated executable.
<p>
<li> -v
<br>
Print information about actions taken.
</ul>

llvm-dis [options] &lt; filename&gt;
<h3>
DESCRIPTION
</h3>
The llvm-dis command is the LLVM disassembler. It takes an LLVM bytecode file

<li> -llvm
<br>
Instruct llvm-dis to generate LLVM assembly code in human readable
format. This is the default behavior.
<p>
<li> -c
<br>
Instruct llvm-dis to generate C source code.
<p>
<li> -f

Force overwrite. Normally, llvm-dis will refuse to overwrite an output
file that already exists. With this option, llvm-dis will overwrite the
output file.
<p>
<li> -help
<br>
Print a summary of command line options.
<p>
<li> -o &lt;filename&gt;

<h3>
NAME
</h3>
opt
<h3>
SYNOPSIS
</h3>
opt [options] &lt; filename&gt;
<h3>
DESCRIPTION
</h3>
The opt command is the LLVM optimizer. It takes LLVM bytecode as input, runs
the specified optimizations on it, and then outputs the optimized code in LLVM
bytecode.
The optimizations available via opt depend upon what libraries it was linked
with, as well as any additional libraries that have been loaded with the -load
option. Use the -help option to determine what optimizations you can use.
<h3>
OPTIONS
</h3>
<ul>
<li> -f
<br>
Force overwrite. Normally, opt will refuse to overwrite an output
file that already exists. With this option, opt will overwrite the
output file and replace it with new bytecode.
<p>
<li> -help
<br>
Print a summary of command line options.
<p>
<li> -o &lt;filename&gt;
<br>
Specify the output filename.
<p>
<li> -stats
<br>

<li> -internalize-public-api-file &lt;filename&gt;
<br>
Preserve the symbol names listed in the file filename.
<p>
<li> -internalize-public-api-list=&lt;list&gt;
<br>
Perserve the symbol names specified.
<p>
<li> -q
<br>
Quiet mode. Do not print messages on whether the program was modified.
<p>
<li> -load &lt;plugin.so&gt;
<br>
Load the dynamic object plugin.so. This object should register new
optimization passes. Once loaded, the object will add new command line
options to enable various optimizations. To see the new complete list
of optimizations, use the -help and -load options together:
<p>
opt -load &lt;plugin.so&gt; -help
<p>
<li> -p
<br>
Print module after each transformation.
<p>
</ul>
<h3>
EXIT STATUS

If opt succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error occurs, it
will exit with a non-zero value.
