NAME
llvm-g++ - LLVM C++ front-end
SYNOPSIS
llvm-g++ [options] filename
DESCRIPTION
The llvm-g++ command is the LLVM C++ front end. It is a modified
version of g++ that compiles C++/ObjC++ programs into native code, LLVM
bitcode or assembly language, depending upon the options.
By default, llvm-g++ compiles to native objects just like GCC does. If
the -emit-llvm option is given then it will generate LLVM bitcode files
instead. If -S (assembly) is also given, then it will generate LLVM
assembly.
Being derived from the GNU Compiler Collection, 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.
OPTIONS
- --help
- Print a summary of command line options.
- -S Do not generate an LLVM bitcode file. Rather, compile the source
- file into an LLVM assembly language file.
- -c Do not generate a linked executable. Rather, compile the source
- file into an LLVM bitcode file. This bitcode file can then be
linked with other bitcode files later on to generate a full LLVM
executable. - -o filename
- Specify the output file to be filename.
- -I directory
- Add a directory to the header file search path. This option can be repeated.
- -L directory
- Add directory to the library search path. This option can be repeated.
- -lname
- Link in the library libname.[bc | a | so]. This library should be a bitcode library.
- -emit-llvm
- Make the output be LLVM bitcode (or assembly) instead of native
object (or assembly).
EXIT STATUS
If llvm-g++ succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
