freebsd-nq/usr.bin/clang/llc/llc.1
Dimitry Andric f785676f2a Upgrade our copy of llvm/clang to 3.4 release. This version supports 
all of the features in the current working draft of the upcoming C++
standard, provisionally named C++1y.

The code generator's performance is greatly increased, and the loop
auto-vectorizer is now enabled at -Os and -O2 in addition to -O3.  The
PowerPC backend has made several major improvements to code generation
quality and compile time, and the X86, SPARC, ARM32, Aarch64 and SystemZ
backends have all seen major feature work.

.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBllc\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIfilename\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
The \fBllc\fP command compiles LLVM source inputs into assembly language
for a specified architecture. The assembly language output can then be passed
through a native assembler and linker to generate a native executable.
.sp
The choice of architecture for the output assembly code is automatically
determined from the input file, unless the \fI\%\-march\fP option is used to
override the default.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
If \fBfilename\fP is "\fB\-\fP" or omitted, \fBllc\fP reads from standard input.
Otherwise, it will from \fBfilename\fP\&. Inputs can be in either the LLVM assembly
language format (\fB\&.ll\fP) or the LLVM bitcode format (\fB\&.bc\fP).
.sp
If the \fI\-o\fP option is omitted, then \fBllc\fP will send its output
to standard output if the input is from standard input. If the \fI\-o\fP
option specifies "\fB\-\fP", then the output will also be sent to standard output.
.sp
If no \fI\-o\fP option is specified and an input file other than "\fB\-\fP" is
specified, then \fBllc\fP creates the output filename by taking the input
filename, removing any existing \fB\&.bc\fP extension, and adding a \fB\&.s\fP suffix.
.sp
Other \fBllc\fP options are described below.
.SS End\-user Options
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-help
Print a summary of command line options.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-O=uint
Generate code at different optimization levels. These correspond to the
\fB\-O0\fP, \fB\-O1\fP, \fB\-O2\fP, and \fB\-O3\fP optimization levels used by
\fBllvm\-gcc\fP and \fBclang\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-mtriple=<target triple>
Override the target triple specified in the input file with the specified
string.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-march=<arch>
Specify the architecture for which to generate assembly, overriding the target
encoded in the input file. See the output of \fBllc \-help\fP for a list of
valid architectures. By default this is inferred from the target triple or
autodetected to the current architecture.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-mcpu=<cpuname>
Specify a specific chip in the current architecture to generate code for.
By default this is inferred from the target triple and autodetected to
the current architecture. For a list of available CPUs, use:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
llvm\-as < /dev/null | llc \-march=xyz \-mcpu=help
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-filetype=<output file type>
Specify what kind of output \fBllc\fP should generated. Options are: \fBasm\fP
for textual assembly ( \fB\(aq.s\(aq\fP), \fBobj\fP for native object files (\fB\(aq.o\(aq\fP)
and \fBnull\fP for not emitting anything (for performance testing).
.sp
Note that not all targets support all options.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-mattr=a1,+a2,\-a3,...
Override or control specific attributes of the target, such as whether SIMD
operations are enabled or not. The default set of attributes is set by the
current CPU. For a list of available attributes, use:
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
llvm\-as < /dev/null | llc \-march=xyz \-mattr=help
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-disable\-fp\-elim
Disable frame pointer elimination optimization.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-disable\-excess\-fp\-precision
Disable optimizations that may produce excess precision for floating point.
Note that this option can dramatically slow down code on some systems
(e.g. X86).
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-enable\-no\-infs\-fp\-math
Enable optimizations that assume no Inf values.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-enable\-no\-nans\-fp\-math

.TP
.B \-\-enable\-unsafe\-fp\-math
Enable optimizations that make unsafe assumptions about IEEE math (e.g. that
addition is associative) or may not work for all input ranges. These
optimizations allow the code generator to make use of some instructions which
would otherwise not be usable (such as \fBfsin\fP on X86).
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-enable\-correct\-eh\-support
Instruct the \fBlowerinvoke\fP pass to insert code for correct exception
handling support. This is expensive and is by default omitted for efficiency.

.TP
.B \-\-stats
Print statistics recorded by code\-generation passes.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-time\-passes

error.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-load=<dso_path>
Dynamically load \fBdso_path\fP (a path to a dynamically shared object) that
implements an LLVM target. This will permit the target name to be used with
the \fI\%\-march\fP option so that code can be generated for that target.
.UNINDENT
