hi,yang:
another question,i write a test like this:
/*****test start******/
; RUN: llc -march=c < %s | FileCheck %s

; ModuleID = 'hello.c'
target datalayout = "e-p:64:64:64-i1:8:8-i8:8:8-i16:16:16-i32:32:32-i64:64:64-
f32:32:32-f64:64:64-v64:64:64-v128:128:128-a0:0:64-s0:64:64-f80:128:128-
n8:16:32:64-S128"
target triple = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"

@.str = private unnamed_addr constant [12 x i8] c"helloworld\0A\00", align 1

define i32 @main() nounwind uwtable {
entry:
  %retval = alloca i32, align 4
  store i32 0, i32* %retval
  %call = call i32 (i8*, ...)* @printf(i8* getelementptr inbounds ([12 x i8]*
@.str, i32 0, i32 0))
  ret i32 0
}

declare i32 @printf(i8*, ...)
;

;CHECK: main
;CHECK: printf
/******test end*******/
i run the example ok,now i what to check if the file llc ouput contain
a string "helloworld",so i add a sentence ";CHECK: {helloworld}" after
";CHECK: printf".but it failed.why?

yours,
changcheng
