Welcome to LLVM! In order to get started, you first need to know some
|
|
|
|
|
basic information.
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
First, LLVM comes in two pieces. The first piece is the LLVM suite. This
|
|
|
|
|
contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to use the
|
|
|
|
|
low level virtual machine. It also contains a test suite that can be used
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
to test the LLVM tools and the GCC front end.
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
The second piece is the GCC front end. This component provides a version
|
|
|
|
|
of GCC that compiles C and C++ code into LLVM bytecode. Currently, the
|
|
|
|
|
GCC front end is a modified version of GCC 3.4 (we track the GCC 3.4
|
|
|
|
|
development). Once compiled into LLVM bytecode, a program can be
|
|
|
|
|
manipulated with the LLVM tools from the LLVM suite.

Before you begin to use the LLVM system, review the requirements given
|
|
|
|
|
below. This may save you some trouble by knowing ahead of time what
|
|
|
|
|
hardware and software you will need.

LLVM is known to work on the following platforms:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
2003-10-10 16:17:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<li> Linux on x86 (Pentium and above)

|
|
|
<ul>

2003-07-08 20:35:59 +00:00
|
|
|
<li> Approximately 760 MB of Free Disk Space
|
2003-06-30 21:59:07 +00:00

|
|
|
<li>GCC front end: 60 MB
|
2003-06-30 21:59:07 +00:00
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|

LLVM <i>may</i> compile on other platforms. The LLVM utilities should work
|
|
|
|
|
on other platforms, so it should be possible to generate and produce LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
bytecode on unsupported platforms (although bytecode generated on one
|
|
|
|
|
platform may not work on another platform). However, the code generators
|
2003-07-03 16:29:36 +00:00
|
|
|
and Just-In-Time (JIT) compilers only generate SparcV9 or x86 machine code.

Unpacking the distribution requires the following tools:
|
|
|
|
|
<dl compact>
|

|
2003-07-03 16:43:01 +00:00
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
These tools are needed to uncompress and unarchive the software.
|
|
|
|
|
Regular Solaris <tt>tar</tt> may work for unpacking the TAR archive but
|
|
|
|
|
is untested.

Compiling LLVM requires that you have several different software packages
|
|
|
|
|
installed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
<dl compact>

|
|
|
<dd>
|
2003-06-30 21:59:07 +00:00
|
|
|
The GNU Compiler Collection must be installed with C and C++ language
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
support. GCC 3.2.x works, and GCC 3.x is generally supported.
|
2003-06-30 21:59:07 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Note that we currently do not support any other C++ compiler.
|

The LLVM build system relies upon GNU Make extensions. Therefore, you
|
|
|
|
|
will need GNU Make (sometimes known as gmake) to build LLVM.
|

2003-06-30 21:59:07 +00:00
|
|

The LLVM source code is built using flex and bison. You will not be
|
|
|
|
|
able to configure and compile LLVM without them.
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00

|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
If you are installing Bison on your machine for the first time, you
|
|
|
|
|
will need GNU M4 (version 1.4 or higher).

|

There are some additional tools that you may want to have when working with
|
|
|
|
|
LLVM:

|

If you want to make changes to the configure scripts, you will need
|
|
|
|
|
GNU autoconf (2.53 or higher), and consequently, GNU M4 (version 1.4
|
|
|
|
|
or higher).

In order to run the tests in the LLVM test suite, you will need QMTest and

a version of the Python interpreter that works with QMTest.

In order to compile and use LLVM, you will need to set some environment

|
|
|
|
variables. There are also some shell aliases which you may find useful.
|
|
|
|
|
You can set these on the command line, or better yet, set them in your

If you have the LLVM distribution, you will need to unpack it before you

2003-10-10 16:17:19 +00:00

can begin to compile it. LLVM is distributed as a set of three files. Each
|
2003-07-07 19:27:35 +00:00
|
|
|
file is a TAR archive that is compressed with the gzip program.

|
|
|
|

follows:
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|

<p>This will create an '<tt>llvm</tt>' directory in the current

Before configuring and compiling the LLVM suite, you need to extract the
|
|
|
|
|
LLVM GCC front end from the binary distribution. It is used for building the
|
|
|
|
|
bytecode libraries later used by the GCC front end for linking programs, and
|
|
|
|
|
its location must be specified when the LLVM suite is configured.
|

|
<p>
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00

To install the GCC front end, do the following:

|
|
|
<ol>
|

To configure LLVM, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Change directory into the object root directory:
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>cd <i>OBJ_ROOT</i></tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-10-10 16:17:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Run the <tt>configure</tt> script located in the LLVM source tree:
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt><i>SRC_ROOT</i>/configure</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-06-30 21:59:07 +00:00
|
|
|
In addition to running <tt>configure</tt>, you must set the
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH</tt> environment variable in your startup scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
This environment variable is used to locate "system" libraries like
|
|
|
|
|
"<tt>-lc</tt>" and "<tt>-lm</tt>" when linking. This variable should be set
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
to the absolute path for the bytecode-libs subdirectory of the GCC front end
|
2003-10-10 16:17:19 +00:00
|
|
|
install, or <i>LLVMGCCDIR</i>/llvm-gcc/bytecode-libs. For example, one might
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
set <tt>LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH</tt> to
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>/home/vadve/lattner/local/x86/llvm-gcc/bytecode-libs</tt> for the X86
|
2003-10-10 16:17:19 +00:00
|
|
|
version of the GCC front end on our research machines.<p>

Once you have configured LLVM, you can build it. There are three types of
|
|
|
|
|
builds:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<dl compact>
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Debug Builds
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
These builds are the default when one types <tt>gmake</tt> (unless the
|
2003-10-10 16:17:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>--enable-optimized</tt> option was used during configuration). The
|
|
|
|
|
build system will compile the tools and libraries with debugging
|
|
|
|
|
information.
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>

|
|

|
|
|
<dt>Release (Optimized) Builds
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
These builds are enabled with the <tt>--enable-optimized</tt> option to
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>configure</tt> or by specifying <tt>ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1</tt> on the
|
2003-10-10 16:17:19 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>gmake</tt> command line. For these builds, the build system will
|
|
|
|
|
compile the tools and libraries with GCC optimizations enabled and strip
|
|
|
|
|
debugging information from the libraries and executables it generates.
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
<dt>Profile Builds
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
These builds are for use with profiling. They compile profiling
|
|
|
|
|
information into the code for use with programs like <tt>gprof</tt>.
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
Profile builds must be started by specifying <tt>ENABLE_PROFILING=1</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
on the <tt>gmake</tt> command line.
|

Once you have LLVM configured, you can build it by entering the
|
|
|
|
|
<i>OBJ_ROOT</i> directory and issuing the following command:
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
2003-07-08 20:35:59 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>gmake</tt>
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
If you have multiple processors in your machine, you may wish to use some
|
|
|
|
|
of the parallel build options provided by GNU Make. For example, you could
|
|
|
|
|
use the command:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2003-07-08 20:35:59 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>gmake -j2</tt>
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
There are several special targets which are useful when working with the LLVM
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
source code:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<dl compact>
|
2003-07-08 20:35:59 +00:00

|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
Removes all files generated by the build. This includes object files,
|
|
|
|
|
generated C/C++ files, libraries, and executables.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-07-08 20:35:59 +00:00
|

|
<dt><tt>gmake distclean</tt>
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
<dd>
|
2003-07-08 20:35:59 +00:00
|
|
|
Removes everything that <tt>gmake clean</tt> does, but also removes
|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
files generated by <tt>configure</tt>. It attempts to return the
|
|
|
|
|
source tree to the original state in which it was shipped.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|

|
|
<dt><tt>gmake install</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<dd>
|
|
|
|
|
Installs LLVM files into the proper location. For the most part,
|
|
|
|
|
this does nothing, but it does install bytecode libraries into the
|
|
|
|
|
GCC front end's bytecode library directory. If you need to update
|
|
|
|
|
your bytecode libraries, this is the target to use once you've built
|
|
|
|
|
them.

declaring variables on the command line. The following are some examples:

The LLVM build system is capable of sharing a single LLVM source tree among
|
|
|
|
|
several LLVM builds. Hence, it is possible to build LLVM for several
|
|
|
|
|
different platforms or configurations using the same source tree.
|

<p>
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
This is accomplished in the typical autoconf manner:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Change directory to where the LLVM object files should live:
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>cd <i>OBJ_ROOT</i></tt>
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2003-10-10 14:26:14 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Run the <tt>configure</tt> script found in the LLVM source directory:
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt><i>SRC_ROOT</i>/configure</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>

|
2003-07-03 16:01:38 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|

The LLVM build will place files underneath <i>OBJ_ROOT</i> in directories

named after the build type:

<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>First, create a simple C file, name it 'hello.c':
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
|
|
|
int main() {
|
|
|
|
|
printf("hello world\n");
|
|
|
|
|
return 0;
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Next, compile the C file into a LLVM bytecode file:<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>% llvmgcc hello.c -o hello</tt><p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will create two result files: <tt>hello</tt> and
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>hello.bc</tt>. The <tt>hello.bc</tt> is the LLVM bytecode that
|
|
|
|
|
corresponds the the compiled program and the library facilities that it
|
|
|
|
|
required. <tt>hello</tt> is a simple shell script that runs the bytecode
|
|
|
|
|
file with <tt>lli</tt>, making the result directly executable.<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Run the program. To make sure the program ran, execute one of the
|
|
|
|
|
following commands:<p>
|

|
|
|
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>% ./hello</tt><p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>% lli hello.bc</tt><p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-08-28 22:02:50 +00:00
|
|
|
<li>Use the <tt>llvm-dis</tt> utility to take a look at the LLVM assembly
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
code:<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-08-28 22:02:50 +00:00
|
|
|
<tt>% llvm-dis < hello.bc | less</tt><p>
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Compile the program to native Sparc assembly using the code
|
2003-07-03 16:29:36 +00:00
|
|
|
generator (assuming you are currently on a Sparc system):<p>
|
2003-06-12 19:34:44 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>% llc hello.bc -o hello.s</tt><p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Assemble the native sparc assemble file into a program:<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>% /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -xarch=v9 hello.s -o hello.sparc</tt><p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Execute the native sparc program:<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<tt>% ./hello.sparc</tt><p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
