The output bytecode file can be +another bytecode file or an executable bytecode program. Using additional +options, \fBllvm-ld\fR is able to produce native code executables. +.PP +The \fBllvm-ld\fR tool is the main linker for \s-1LLVM\s0. It is used to link together +the output of \s-1LLVM\s0 front-end compilers and run \*(L"link time\*(R" optimizations (mostly +the inter-procedural kind). +.PP +The \fBllvm-ld\fR tools attemps to mimic the interface provided by the default +system linker so that it can act as a \fIdrop-in\fR replacement. +.Sh "Search Order" +.IX Subsection "Search Order" +When looking for objects specified on the command line, \fBllvm-ld\fR will search +for the object first in the current directory and then in the directory +specified by the \fB\s-1LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH\s0\fR environment variable. If it cannot +find the object, it fails. +.PP +When looking for a library specified with the \fB\-l\fR option, \fBllvm-ld\fR first +attempts to load a file with that name from the current directory. If that +fails, it looks for lib\fIlibrary\fR.bc, lib\fIlibrary\fR.a, or lib\fIlibrary\fR.\fIshared +library extension\fR, in that order, in each directory added to the library search +path with the \fB\-L\fR option. These directories are searched in the order they +are specified. If the library cannot be located, then \fBllvm-ld\fR looks in the +directory specified by the \fB\s-1LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH\s0\fR environment variable. If it +does not find a library there, it fails. +.PP +The \fIshared library extension\fR may be \fI.so\fR, \fI.dyld\fR, \fI.dll\fR, or something +different, depending upon the system. +.PP +The \fB\-L\fR option is global. It does not matter where it is specified in the +list of command line arguments; the directory is simply added to the search path +and is applied to all libraries, preceding or succeeding, in the command line. +.Sh "Link order" +.IX Subsection "Link order" +All object and bytecode files are linked first in the order they were +specified on the command line. All library files are linked next. +Some libraries may not be linked into the object program; see below. +.Sh "Library Linkage" +.IX Subsection "Library Linkage" +Object files and static bytecode objects are always linked into the output +file. Library archives (.a files) load only the objects within the archive +that define symbols needed by the output file. Hence, libraries should be +listed after the object files and libraries which need them; otherwise, the +library may not be linked in, and the dependent library will not have its +undefined symbols defined. +.Sh "Native code generation" +.IX Subsection "Native code generation" +The \fBllvm-ld\fR program has limited support for native code generation, when +using the \fB\-native\fR or \fB\-native\-cbe\fR options. Native code generation is +perfomed by converting the linked bytecode into native assembly (.s) or C code +and running the system compiler (typically gcc) on the result. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.IX Header "OPTIONS" +.Sh "General Options" +.IX Subsection "General Options" +.IP "\fB\-help\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-help" +Print a summary of command line options. +.IP "\fB\-v\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-v" +Specifies verbose mode. In this mode the linker will print additional +information about the actions it takes, programs it executes, etc. +.IP "\fB\-stats\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-stats" +Print statistics. +.IP "\fB\-time\-passes\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-time-passes" +Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard +error. +.Sh "Input/Output Options" +.IX Subsection "Input/Output Options" +.IP "\fB\-o\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-o filename" +This overrides the default output file and specifies the name of the file that +should be generated by the linker. By default, \fBllvm-ld\fR generates a file named +\&\fIa.out\fR for compatibility with \fBld\fR. The output will be written to +\&\fIfilename\fR. +.IP "\fB\-l\fR\fIname\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-lname" +This option specifies the \fIname\fR of a library to search when resolving symbols +for the program. Only the base name should be specified as \fIname\fR, without a +\&\fIlib\fR prefix or any suffix. +.IP "\fB\-L\fR\fIPath\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-LPath" +This option tells \fBllvm-ld\fR to look in \fIPath\fR to find any library subsequently +specified with the \fB\-l\fR option. The paths will be searched in the order in +which they are specified on the command line. If the library is still not found, +a small set of system specific directories will also be searched. Note that +libraries specified with the \fB\-l\fR option that occur \fIbefore\fR any \fB\-L\fR options +will not search the paths given by the \fB\-L\fR options following it. +.IP "\fB\-link\-as\-library\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-link-as-library" +Link the bytecode files together as a library, not an executable. In this mode, +undefined symbols will be permitted. +.IP "\fB\-r\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-r" +An alias for \-link\-as\-library. +.ie n .IP "\fB\-march=\fR""target""" 4 +.el .IP "\fB\-march=\fR\f(CWtarget\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-march=target" +Specifies the kind of machine for which code or assembly should be generated. +.IP "\fB\-native\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-native" +Generate a native machine code executable. +.Sp +When generating native executables, \fBllvm-ld\fR first checks for a bytecode +version of the library and links it in, if necessary. If the library is +missing, \fBllvm-ld\fR skips it. Then, \fBllvm-ld\fR links in the same +libraries as native code. +.Sp +In this way, \fBllvm-ld\fR should be able to link in optimized bytecode +subsets of common libraries and then link in any part of the library that +hasn't been converted to bytecode. +.IP "\fB\-native\-cbe\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-native-cbe" +Generate a native machine code executable with the \s-1LLVM\s0 C backend. +.Sp +This option is identical to the \fB\-native\fR option, but uses the +C backend to generate code for the program instead of an \s-1LLVM\s0 native +code generator. +.Sh "Optimization Options" +.IX Subsection "Optimization Options" +.IP "\fB\-O0\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-O0" +An alias for the \-O1 option. +.IP "\fB\-O1\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-O1" +Optimize for linking speed, not execution speed. The optimizer will attempt to +reduce the size of the linked program to reduce I/O but will not otherwise +perform any link-time optimizations. +.IP "\fB\-O2\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-O2" +Perform only the minimal or required set of scalar optimizations. +.IP "\fB\-03\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-03" +An alias for the \-O2 option. +.IP "\fB\-04\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-04" +Perform the standard link time inter-procedural optimizations. This will +attempt to optimize the program taking the entire program into consideration. +.IP "\fB\-O5\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-O5" +Perform aggressive link time optimizations. This is the same as \-O4 but works +more aggressively to optimize the program. +.IP "\fB\-disable\-inlining\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-disable-inlining" +Do not run the inlining pass. Functions will not be inlined into other +functions. +.IP "\fB\-disable\-opt\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-disable-opt" +Completely disable optimization. The various \fB\-On\fR options will be ignored and +no link time optimization passes will be run. +.IP "\fB\-disable\-internalize\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-disable-internalize" +Do not mark all symbols as internal. +.IP "\fB\-verify\-each\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-verify-each" +Run the verification pass after each of the passes to verify intermediate +results. +.IP "\fB\-strip\-all\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-strip-all" +Strip all debug and symbol information from the executable to make it smaller. +.IP "\fB\-strip\-debug\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-strip-debug" +Strip all debug information from the executable to make it smaller. +.IP "\fB\-s\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-s" +An alias for \fB\-strip\-all\fR. +.IP "\fB\-S\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-S" +An alias for \fB\-strip\-debug\fR. +.IP "\fB\-export\-dynamic\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-export-dynamic" +An alias for \fB\-disable\-internalize\fR +.IP "\fB\-load\fR \fImodule\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-load module" +Load an optimization module, \fImodule\fR, which is expected to be a dynamic +library that provides the function name \f(CW\*(C`RunOptimizations\*(C'\fR. This function will +be passed the PassManager, and the optimization level (values 0\-5 based on the +\&\fB\-On\fR option). This function may add passes to the PassManager that should be +run. This feature allows the optimization passes of \fBllvm-ld\fR to be extended. +.IP "\fB\-post\-link\-opt\fR\fIPath\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-post-link-optPath" +Run post-link optimization program. After linking is completed a bytecode file +will be generated. It will be passed to the program specified by \fIPath\fR as the +first argument. The second argument to the program will be the name of a +temporary file into which the program should place its optimized output. For +example, the \*(L"no\-op optimization\*(R" would be a simple shell script: +.Sp +.Vb 2 +\& #!/bin/bash +\& cp $1 $2 +.Ve +.SH "EXIT STATUS" +.IX Header "EXIT STATUS" +If \fBllvm-ld\fR succeeds, it will exit with 0 return code. If an error occurs, +it will exit with a non-zero return code. +.SH "ENVIRONMENT" +.IX Header "ENVIRONMENT" +The \f(CW\*(C`LLVM_LIB_SEARCH_PATH\*(C'\fR environment variable is used to find bytecode +libraries. Any paths specified in this variable will be searched after the \f(CW\*(C`\-L\*(C'\fR +options. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +llvm-link +.SH "AUTHORS" +.IX Header "AUTHORS" +Maintained by the \s-1LLVM\s0 Team (<http://llvm.org>). |
