 <h3>NAME</h3>
 <tt>llc</tt>

 <h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>
 <tt>llc [options] [filename]</tt>

 <h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>

 The <tt>llc</tt> command compiles LLVM bytecode into assembly language for a
 specified architecture.  The assembly language output can then be passed through
 a native assembler and linker to generate native code.
 <p>
 The choice of architecture for the output assembly code is determined as
 follows:

 <ul>
 	<li>
 	If the user has specified an architecture with the -m option, use that
 	architecture.
 	<p>

 	<li>
 	Examine the input LLVM bytecode file:
 	<ul>
 		<li>
 		If it specifies little endian and a pointer size of 32 bits, select the
 		x86 architecture.
 		<p>

 		<li>
 		If it specifies big endian and a pointer size of 64 bit pointers,
 		select the SparcV9 architecture.
 	</ul>
 	<p>

 	<li>
 	If <tt>llc</tt> was compiled on an architecture for which it can
 	generate code, select the architecture upon which <tt>llc</tt> was
 	compiled.
 	<p>

 	<li>
 	Print a message to the user asking him or her to specify the output
 	architecture explicitly.
 </ul>

 <p>

 If filename is not specified, or if filename is -, <tt>llc</tt> reads its input
 from standard input.  Otherwise, it will read its input from filename.
 <p>

 If the -o option is left unspecified, then <tt>llc</tt> will send its output to standard
 output if the input is from standard input.  If the -o option specifies -, then
 the output will also be sent to standard output.
 <p>

 If no -o option is specified and an input file other than - is specified, then
 <tt>llc</tt> creates the output filename as follows:

 <ul>
 	<li>
 	If the file ends in .bc, then the .bc suffix is removed, and the .s suffix
 	is appended.
 	<p>
 	<li>
 	Otherwise, the .s suffix is appended to the input filename.
 </ul>

 <h3>

 		<dd>SPARC V9</dd>
 	</dl>

 	<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>

 </ul>
 <h4>X86 Specific Options</h4>
 <ul>

 	<br>
 	Disable frame pointer elimination optimization.
 	<p>

 	<dl compact>
 		<di> simple
 		<dd>Very simple register allocator</dd>

 		<di> local
 		<dd>Local register allocator</dd>
 	</dl>
 	<p>

 </ul>

 <h4>Sparc Specific Options</h4>
 <ul>
 	<li>-disable-peephole
 	<br>
 	Disable peephole optimization pass.
 	<p>

 	<li>-disable-preopt
 	<br>
 	Disable optimizations prior to instruction selection.
 	<p>

 	Emit LLVM-to-MachineCode mapping info to assembly.
 	<p>
 </ul>


 <h3>EXIT STATUS</h3>

 If <tt>llc</tt> succeeds, it will exit with 0.  Otherwise, if an error occurs,
 it will exit with a non-zero value.
