Hi ,
I want to create a bc file by llvm-gcc, and need to pass a input file when create this file,
how can i do it?I saw options in " **llvm-gcc** [_options_] _filename" but it could not help me._
_I have an another problem too. my program contains some C file , that main function use those, but i don’t know how create bc file with regard to other file._
_tanks,_

llvm-gcc -emit-llvm -c foo.c -o foo.bc

llvm-gcc -emit-llvm -c main.c foo.c -combine -o main.bc
Do you mean this?

Tanks for reply 🙂
llvm-gcc -emit-llvm -c foo.c -o foo.bc
I want to pass a input file to foo.c that contains a picture. how can do it?

I think you would want to do this with objcopy... something like :
objcopy -I binary -O elf32-i386 -B i386 yourimage.jpg yourimage.o
Where the -O and -B options are set correctly for your architecture. That will create an object file containing the image data and will define the symbols:
\_binary\_yourimage\_jpg\_start
\_binary\_yourimage\_jpg\_end
\_binary\_yourimage\_jpg\_size
You should then be able to pass the .o file in along with your C file and reference it using the above symbols defined as externs of the proper type.
