[LLVMdev] Walking thru CallGraph bottom up

In LLVM, the best way to do that is to link the bitcode files together into a single bitcode file.  This can either by done using llvm-link (which requires changing the Makefiles of most programs) or by adding your passes into libLTO (which is more work but allows you to do whole-program analysis with little/no modification to program Makefiles).

Hi John,

this is actually what I am doing.
I have a simple program that has a main that call 2 functions.
Those 2 functions are in two different .c files.
So I create the BC file with clang for the 3 files.
I link them together with llvm-link and then I disassemble it.
However when I run my pass it still can’t see the external calls.

Why is that?

Thanks.
Simone
