C:\llvm\bin>llc -version
Low Level Virtual Machine (http://llvm.org/):
llvm version 2.6svn
DEBUG build.
Built Jan 31 2010(20:46:01).
Registered Targets:
x86 - 32-bit X86: Pentium-Pro and above
x86-64 - 64-bit X86: EM64T and AMD64
I did specify the release build with cmake; the lack of crashing on
exit of programs compiled therewith confirms that :-) As far as I can
see, the reason for the incorrect reporting is in CommandLine.cpp:
#ifndef __OPTIMIZE__
cout << "DEBUG build";
#else
cout << "Optimized build";
#endif
According to a Google search, gcc sets __OPTIMIZE__ when -O2 or better
is used, so presumably that's the intent of the above and the reason
it doesn't work with Visual C++.
I'd ideally like my compiler to report the version of llvm it was
linked with (as well as its own version), so output of incorrect
information is a problem. Does anyone know of a solution to this?
