5llvm-gcc - LLVM C front-end
6
7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9B<llvm-gcc> [I<options>] I<filename>
10
11=head1 DESCRIPTION
12
13The B<llvm-gcc> command is the LLVM C front end.  It is a modified
14version of gcc that compiles C/ObjC programs into native objects, LLVM
15bitcode or LLVM assembly language, depending upon the options.
16
17By default, B<llvm-gcc> compiles to native objects just like GCC does. If the
18B<-emit-llvm> and B<-c> options are given then it will generate LLVM bitcode files
19instead. If B<-emit-llvm> and B<-S> are given, then it will generate LLVM
20assembly.
21
22Being derived from the GNU Compiler Collection, B<llvm-gcc> has many
23of gcc's features and accepts most of gcc's options.  It handles a
24number of gcc's extensions to the C programming language.  See the gcc
25documentation for details.

27=head1 OPTIONS
28
29=over
30
31=item B<--help>
32
33Print a summary of command line options.
34
35=item B<-o> I<filename>
36
37Specify the output file to be I<filename>.
38
39=item B<-I> I<directory>
40
41Add a directory to the header file search path.  This option can be
42repeated.
43
44=item B<-L> I<directory>
45
46Add I<directory> to the library search path.  This option can be
47repeated.
48
49=item B<-l>I<name>
50
51Link in the library libI<name>.[bc | a | so].  This library should
52be a bitcode library.
53
54=item B<-emit-llvm>
55
56Make the output be LLVM bitcode (with B<-c>) or assembly (with B<-s>) instead
57of native object (or assembly).  If B<-emit-llvm> is given without either B<-c>
58or B<-S> it has no effect.
59

61
62=head1 EXIT STATUS
63
64If B<llvm-gcc> succeeds, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise, if an error
65occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
