[LLVMdev] LLVM SSA

[ivtm]

I am familiar with the LLVM IR a little bit and I am parsing much more
complex examples. I just gave this example, to show that I would like to
have only 1 variable, not 2, the way SSA would generate it.
I am actually using LLVM purely as a front end to translate to .bc files and
then I have my own parser from there.

At any rate, is there an option to the llvm-gcc --emit-llvm to tell it to
produce .bc files that are at least space optimized (or even better, not in
SSA form) ?

thanks
