Example Project For CMake LLVM IR Pipelines

Introduction

This repo provides an example usage for LLVM IR cmake pipelines.

Requirements

• cmake 3.2.0 or later
• LLVM IR cmake pipelines
• LLVM IR cmake utilities
• LLVM/Clang

How To Use

1. git clone --recursive this repo.
2. Create a directory for an out-of-source build and cd into it.
3. Provide the appropriate option to cmake during configuration. For examples on the various options have a look at the export scripts (provided for convenience) located in the utils/scripts/build subdirectory. Then, you can use the build.sh script located in the same directory to build the project.

Quick Overview

This repository provides 2 example uses for generating LLVM IR bitcode using:

• LLVM IR cmake pipelines
• LLVM IR cmake utilities

First, the subproject under the subdirectory statically shows how to use a chain/pipeline of various LLVM opt passes by specifying them in the lists file. For this, see the configuration options in the following export scripts under utils/scripts/build:

• exports_deps1.sh
• exports_deps2.sh

Second, the subproject under the subdirectory dynamically provides a working example on how to chain/pipeline and group passes by specifying their order during configuration. For this, see the configuration options in the following export scripts under utils/scripts/build:

• exports_deps3.sh
• exports_deps4.sh
