[llvm-dev] Compiling the code generated by LLVM C++ backend

[Dipanjan Das via llvm-dev]

Hi,

I am working with LLVM 2.9. So far I have used "llc -march=c" and "llc
-march=cpp" respectively to generate C and C++ source code from LLVM
IR/BitCode. My questions follow:

   1. I can see that there is a significant difference between the code
   generated by C and C++ backends. Former one generates code to be compiled
   by gcc to generate a native executable, while the later one is targeted to
   generated LLVM IR itself. Surprisingly, both the diametrically opposite
   functionalities have been put together in the same utility called ''llc'. I
   wonder if there is any official doc available online to point out the
   striking difference.
   2. This question is simpler even: How can I make use of the C++ code
   generated by LLVM C++ backend? In other words, can it be compiled to a
   standalone, native binary that can be used to write out corresponding LLVM
   IR? If so, what will the compiler and linker switches be?

Thanks in advance.
