[LLVMdev] understanding the opt tool

[kalyan ponnala]

Hello,

I am trying to understand the opt tool. I wrote a program and created the
.bc file using clang. And I used this .bc file to generate another .bc file
using the opt tool. I dis-assembled this bitcode file and compared the
output with previous unoptimized bitcode file. It was the same. I am not
sure how to check the difference. Can anyone tell me if this is how we check
the optimized output or is there any other way. If the procedure that I used
is correct then could you tell me why am I not able to see the optimizations
on the source code. The commands are in this way:

clang -c -emit-llvm filename.c -o filename.bc

opt -strip-dead-prototypes -f <filename.bc> filename2.bc


I am working on the visual studio solution file and on windows 7 (in case
you want to know the platform)

Thanks.
