Hello.
Is there a possibility to instruct at command line the clang or the opt tools to emit LLVM bitcode file after a certain optimization pass such as LoopVectorize (or all optimization passes)? (This question was asked also at compiler construction - Dump IR after each llvm optimization (each pass), both llvm ir passes and backend debugging - Stack Overflow .)
As far as I can see giving:
clang -save-temps ...
generates a .bc file for the compiled module just before passing the module to the optimization passes (opt).
An alternative I have is to programmatically generate the corresponding bitcode file at the right time after finishing the pass in discussion - see, for example, llvm - writing module to .bc bitcode file - Stack Overflow, methods WriteBitcodeToFile() or WriteModule() .
Thank you,
Alex
