Thanks for fast response!
Currently I am trying what you told me.

No matter if I try "
llvm-g++ a.cpp -c -emit-llvm
" with "LLVM-GCC 4.2 Front End Binaries for Mingw32/x86" on Windows XP
or if I am trying it on Ubuntu...

Only the a.o file will be created without any error messages. The .bc
file will not be created, do you know why?
