[LLVMdev] LLVM and gem5

[John Criswell]

Dear Pratik,

I'm not sure that your question is clear.  To my understanding, GEM is a 
Simics-based CPU emulator that runs standard x86 binaries.  Therefore, 
I'd expect the output of an unmodified LLVM compiler for x86 to run on 
GEM.  The only reason why you'd get output from LLVM that doesn't work 
on the simulator is if LLVM is configured to generate code for x86 
features that GEM doesn't support.

Can you more thoroughly explain the problem that you're having?

Regards,

John Criswell
