It takes LLVM -source files as input, runs the specified optimizations or analyses on it, and then -outputs the optimized file or the analysis results. The function of -B<opt> depends on whether the B<-analyze> option is given. - -When B<-analyze> is specified, B<opt> performs various analyses of the input -source. It will usually print the results on standard output, but in a few -cases, it will print output to standard error or generate a file with the -analysis output, which is usually done when the output is meant for another -program. - -While B<-analyze> is I<not> given, B<opt> attempts to produce an optimized -output file. The optimizations available via B<opt> depend upon what -libraries were linked into it as well as any additional libraries that have -been loaded with the B<-load> option. Use the B<-help> option to determine -what optimizations you can use. - -If I<filename> is omitted from the command line or is I<->, B<opt> reads its -input from standard input. Inputs can be in either the LLVM assembly language -format (.ll) or the LLVM bitcode format (.bc). - -If an output filename is not specified with the B<-o> option, B<opt> -writes its output to the standard output. - -=head1 OPTIONS - -=over - -=item B<-f> - -Enable binary output on terminals. Normally, B<opt> will refuse to -write raw bitcode output if the output stream is a terminal. With this option, -B<opt> will write raw bitcode regardless of the output device. - -=item B<-help> - -Print a summary of command line options. - -=item B<-o> I<filename> - -Specify the output filename. - -=item B<-S> - -Write output in LLVM intermediate language (instead of bitcode). - -=item B<-{passname}> - -B<opt> provides the ability to run any of LLVM's optimization or analysis passes -in any order. The B<-help> option lists all the passes available. The order in -which the options occur on the command line are the order in which they are -executed (within pass constraints). - -=item B<-std-compile-opts> - -This is short hand for a standard list of I<compile time optimization> passes. -This is typically used to optimize the output from the llvm-gcc front end. It -might be useful for other front end compilers as well. To discover the full set -of options available, use the following command: - - llvm-as < /dev/null | opt -std-compile-opts -disable-output -debug-pass=Arguments - -=item B<-disable-inlining> - -This option is only meaningful when B<-std-compile-opts> is given. It simply -removes the inlining pass from the standard list. - -=item B<-disable-opt> - -This option is only meaningful when B<-std-compile-opts> is given. It disables -most, but not all, of the B<-std-compile-opts>. The ones that remain are -B<-verify>, B<-lower-setjmp>, and B<-funcresolve>. - -=item B<-strip-debug> - -This option causes opt to strip debug information from the module before -applying other optimizations. It is essentially the same as B<-strip> but it -ensures that stripping of debug information is done first. - -=item B<-verify-each> - -This option causes opt to add a verify pass after every pass otherwise specified -on the command line (including B<-verify>). This is useful for cases where it -is suspected that a pass is creating an invalid module but it is not clear which -pass is doing it. The combination of B<-std-compile-opts> and B<-verify-each> -can quickly track down this kind of problem. - -=item B<-profile-info-file> I<filename> - -Specify the name of the file loaded by the -profile-loader option. - -=item B<-stats> - -Print statistics. - -=item B<-time-passes> - -Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard -error. - -=item B<-debug> - -If this is a debug build, this option will enable debug printouts -from passes which use the I<DEBUG()> macro. See the B<LLVM Programmer's -Manual>, section I<#DEBUG> for more information. - -=item B<-load>=I<plugin> - -Load the dynamic object I<plugin>. This object should register new optimization -or analysis passes. Once loaded, the object will add new command line options to -enable various optimizations or analyses. To see the new complete list of -optimizations, use the B<-help> and B<-load> options together. For example: - - opt -load=plugin.so -help - -=item B<-p> - -Print module after each transformation. - -=back - -=head1 EXIT STATUS - -If B<opt> succeeds, it will exit with 0. Otherwise, if an error -occurs, it will exit with a non-zero value. - -=head1 AUTHORS - -Maintained by the LLVM Team (L<http://llvm.org/>). - -=cut |
