=head1 NAME
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
llvm-gcc - LLVM C front-end
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
B<llvm-gcc> [I<options>] I<filename>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The B<llvm-gcc> command is the LLVM C front end.  It is a modified
 | 
						|
version of gcc that compiles C/ObjC programs into native objects, LLVM
 | 
						|
bytecode or LLVM assembly language, depending upon the options.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By default, B<llvm-gcc> compiles to native objects just like GCC does. If the
 | 
						|
B<-emit-llvm> option is given then it will generate LLVM bytecode files instead.
 | 
						|
If B<-S> (assembly) is also given, then it will generate LLVM assembly. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Being derived from the GNU Compiler Collection, B<llvm-gcc> has many
 | 
						|
of gcc's features and accepts most of gcc's options.  It handles a
 | 
						|
number of gcc'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<-emit-llvm>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Make the output be LLVM bytecode (or assembly) instead of native object (or
 | 
						|
assembly).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=back
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 EXIT STATUS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If B<llvm-gcc> succeeds, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise, if an error
 | 
						|
occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value.
