[llvm-dev] How to generate .bc file using configure && make on Mac OS X?

[Peng Yu via llvm-dev]

It seems that it does not really work. When I run the generated .bc
file, it gives me the following error. Do you what is wrong?

$ lli bash.bc

Note that the results might not be the same as running a proper LTO build because of different pass manager pipelines.
