Hi, all.
I have written a pass to do some inter-procedure work. Then I tried to apply it to currently existing software. But I failed to compile most of them using llvm-gcc.
When I run ./configure CC=llvm-gcc CFLAGS=“-emit-llvm -c”, it reports “cannot run C compiled programs” and so on and then exit.
( I use CFLAGS=“-emit-llvm -c” to produce LLVM bitcode so that my pass can run on it. )
My solution is using the default CC and CFLAGS to configure, and before we make, I write a shell script to replace the default gcc. This script will invoke llvm-gcc later and pass arguments “-emit-llvm -c” to the compiler.
However, there still exists many errors when I make, many of them are very strange.
What’s wrong here? It confused me a few days. Can we use llvm-gcc to compile large project and generate IR? How?
Thanks!
