[LLVMdev] Specifying Additional Compilation Passes to lli

[Thomas B. Jablin]

Evan,
My overall goal is to support dynamic optimization in LLVM.  In order to do so, I must gather profiling information at runtime, then recompile the profiled functions. Currently, I'm just adding and removing calls into my profiler in a custom pass.  What is the advantage of giving the JIT a second profile manager over my current implementation? Thanks.
Tom

Hi Tom,

I don't think this is the right approach. May I ask you what passes  
you are trying to add? If you just want to run a number of llvm level  
optimization passes, the right approach is to add your own pass  
manager instead.
