[llvm-dev] Passing arguments to LLVM pass through Clang

[Benno Krauss via llvm-dev]

Hello Shishir,

To pass arguments to LLVM from clang, use something like `clang source.c -mllvm -customarg -mllvm argvalue`. The -mllvm argument tells clang to forward the following argument to LLVM. Similarly, there is the -Xclang argument to pass the following argument to clang proper, as opposed to the clang driver.

Cheers,
Benno

Hello,

I am adding to an LLVM pass that requires a filename as input. I am able to input this filename as a command line argument when I invoke this pass using opt, but I ultimately need to pass this argument to my code when I compile code with clang.

How can I pass this argument to clang so that I can use it in my LLVM pass? Thanks for your help!

Best,
Shishir Jessu
