[LLVMdev] POSIX thread library support

[Hanfeng Qin]

Hi chenwj,
For the first question, even if I did not specify "-o fft.bc", it still generated fft.o which is also a llvm bitcode file.
For the second question, I intended to generate a native executable "FFT". However, it only generate a llvm bitcode file fft.bc and a native POSIX shell excuatable named fft. Howerver, the contents of the shell executable fft is a wrapper to call "lli fft".

I also asked some other people. They told me that pthread came along with the native system and was not distributed by llvm. Libpthread.so and libpthread_nonshared.so were located in /usr/lib. "llvm-ld -native -o th th.o" failed even I told it that "-L/usr/lib".

Best regards,
Hanfeng

  "-emit-llvm" emits object file which contains LLVM bitcode (IR).
Default file name suffix is .o, but you might want to use "-o fft.bc"
to make the suffix self-explained.

                                        ^^^
  Is it not a native excutable?
