[LLVMdev] Using output from dragonegg

[Dmitry N. Mikushin]

Hi Zack,

DragonEgg should give you LLVM IR as an output. Btw, why do you need -fopt?
What to do with LLVM IR - depends on your purpose. You can translate
it to something else using one of available backends, for example, to
x86 assembly:

$ llc -march=x86 hello_world.bc

(It's better to use different extension, because llc would also produce *.o)

Or you can pass this file through any available code transformations,
for example:

$ opt -basicaa -mem2reg -simplifycfg -instcombine -S hello_word.bc -o
hello_world_opt.bc

HTH,
- Dima.
