Getting dump of native assembly?

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives
#1

I'm using the IRBuilder C++ API to generate LLVM IR code and execute it on-the-fly. I know about Module::dump() to print the IR code, but is there any way to print out the native assembly code (x86 in my case)?

Not the native assembly, but a representation of the native
instructions, just create your ExecutionEngine thus:

  EngineBuilder builder(MyModule);
  ...
  TargetMachine *tm = builder.selectTarget();
  tm->Options.PrintMachineCode = 1;
  ExecutionEngine *EE = builder.create(tm);

It is quite verbose too.
