+.IX Title "LLVM2CPP 1"
+.TH LLVM2CPP 1 "2006-08-10" "CVS" "LLVM Command Guide"
+.SH "NAME"
+llvm2xpp \- LLVM bytecode to LLVM C++ IR translator
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+\&\fBllvm2cpp\fR [\fIoptions\fR] [\fIfilename\fR]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBllvm2cpp\fR translates from \s-1LLVM\s0 bytecode (.bc files) to a
+corresponding \*(C+ source file that will make calls against the \s-1LLVM\s0 \*(C+ \s-1API\s0 to
+build the same module as the input. By default, the \*(C+ output is a complete
+program that builds the module, verifies it and then emits the module as
+\&\s-1LLVM\s0 assembly. This technique assists with testing because the input to
+\&\fBllvm2cpp\fR and the output of the generated \*(C+ program should be identical.
+.PP
+If \fIfilename\fR is omitted or is \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR, then \fBllvm2cpp\fR reads its input from
+standard input.
+.PP
+If an output file is not specified with the \fB\-o\fR option, then
+\&\fBllvm2cpp\fR sends its output to a file or standard output by following
+these rules:
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+If the input is standard input, then the output is standard output.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+If the input is a file that ends with \f(CW\*(C`.bc\*(C'\fR, then the output file is of
+the same name, except that the suffix is changed to \f(CW\*(C`.cpp\*(C'\fR.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+If the input is a file that does not end with the \f(CW\*(C`.bc\*(C'\fR suffix, then the
+output file has the same name as the input file, except that the \f(CW\*(C`.cpp\*(C'\fR
+suffix is appended.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+.IP "\fB\-f\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-f"
+Force overwrite. Normally, \fBllvm2cpp\fR will refuse to overwrite an
+output file that already exists. With this option, \fBllvm2cpp\fR
+will overwrite the output file and replace it with new \*(C+ source code.
+.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--help"
+Print a summary of command line options.
+.IP "\fB\-f\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-f"
+Normally, \fBllvm2cpp\fR will not overwrite an existing output file. With this
+option, that default behavior is changed and the program will overwrite existing
+output files.
+.IP "\fB\-o\fR \fIfilename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-o filename"
+Specify the output file name. If \fIfilename\fR is \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR, then \fBllvm2cpp\fR
+sends its output to standard output.
+.IP "\fB\-funcname\fR \fIfunctionName\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-funcname functionName"
+Specify the name of the function to be generated. The generated code contains a
+single function that produces the input module. By default its name is
+\&\fImakeLLVMModule\fR. The \fB\-funcname\fR option overrides this default and allows
+you to control the name of the generated function. This is handy in conjunction
+with the \fB\-fragment\fR option when you only want \fBllvm2cpp\fR to generate a
+single function that produces the module. With both options, such generated code
+could be \fI#included\fR into another program.
+.IP "\fB\-for\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-for"
+Specify the name of the thing for which \*(C+ code should be generated. By default
+the entire input module is re\-generated. However, use of the various \fB\-gen\-*\fR
+options can restrict what is produced. This option indicates what that
+restriction is.
+.IP "\fB\-gen\-program\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-gen-program"
+Specify that the output should be a complete program. Such program will recreate
+\&\fBllvm2cpp\fR's input as an \s-1LLVM\s0 module, verify that module, and then write out
+the module in \s-1LLVM\s0 assembly format. This is useful for doing identity tests
+where the output of the generated program is identical to the input to
+\&\fBllvm2cpp\fR. The \s-1LLVM\s0 DejaGnu test suite can make use of this fact. This is the
+default form of generated output.
+.Sp
+If the \fB\-for\fR option is given with this option, it specifies the module
+identifier to use for the module created.
+.IP "\fB\-gen\-module\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-gen-module"
+Specify that the output should be a function that regenerates the module. It is
+assumed that this output will be #included into another program that has already
+arranged for the correct header files to be #included. The function generated
+takes no arguments and returns a \fIModule*\fR.
+.Sp
+If the \fB\-for\fR option is given with this option, it specifies the module
+identifier to use in creating the module returned by the generated function.
+.IP "\fB\-gen\-contents\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-gen-contents"
+Specify that the output should be a function that adds the contents of the input
+module to another module. It is assumed that the output will be #included into
+another program that has already arranged for the correct header files to be
+#included. The function generated takes a single argument of type \fIModule*\fR and
+returns that argument. Note that Module level attributes such as endianess,
+pointer size, target triple and inline asm are not passed on from the input
+module to the destination module. Only the sub-elements of the module (types,
+constants, functions, global variables) will be added to the input module.
+.Sp
+If the \fB\-for\fR option is given with this option, it specifies the module
+identifier to set in the input module by the generated function.
+.IP "\fB\-gen\-function\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-gen-function"
+Specify that the output should be a function that produces the definitions
+necessary for a specific function to be added to a module. It is assumed that
+the output will be #included into another program that has already arranged
+for the correct header files to be #included. The function generated takes a
+single argument of type \fIModule*\fR and returns the \fIFunction*\fR that it added to
+the module. Note that only those things (types, constants, etc.) directly
+needed in the definition of the function will be placed in the generated
+function.
+.Sp
+The \fB\-for\fR option must be given with this option or an error will be produced.
+The value of the option must be the name of a function in the input module for
+which code should be generated. If the named function does not exist an error
+will be produced.
+.IP "\fB\-gen\-inline\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-gen-inline"
+This option is very analagous to \fB\-gen\-function\fR except that the generated
+function will not re-produce the target function's definition. Instead, the body
+of the target function is inserted into some other function passed as an
+argument to the generated function. Similarly any arguments to the function must
+be passed to the generated function. The result of the generated function is the
+first basic block of the target function.
+.Sp
+The \fB\-for\fR option works the same way as it does for \fB\-gen\-function\fR.
+.IP "\fB\-gen\-variable\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-gen-variable"
+Specify that the output should be a function that produces the definitions
+necessary for a specific global variable to be added to a module. It is assumed
+that the output will be #included into another program that has already arranged
+for the correct header files to be #included. The function generated takes a
+single argument of type \fIModule*\fR and returns the \fIGlobalVariable*\fR that it
+added to the module. Note that only those things (types, constants, etc.)
+directly needed in the definition of the global variable will be placed in the
+generated function.
+.Sp
+The \fB\-for\fR option must be given with this option or an error will be produced.
+THe value of the option must be the name of a global variable in the input
+module for which code should be generated. If the named global variable does not
+exist an error will be produced.
+.IP "\fB\-gen\-type\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-gen-type"
+Specify that the output should be a function that produces the definitions
+necessary for specific type to be added to a module. It is assumed that the
+otuput will be #included into another program that has already arranged for the
+correct header files to be #included. The function generated take a single
+argument of type \fIModule*\fR and returns the \fIType*\fR that it added to the
+module. Note that the generated function will only add the necessary type
+definitions to (possibly recursively) define the requested type.
+.Sp
+The \fB\-for\fR option must be given with this option or an error will be produced.
+The value of the option must be the name of a global type in the input module
+for which code should be generated. If the named type does not exist an error
+will be produced.
+.IP "\fB\-stats\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-stats"
+Show pass statistics (not interesting in this program).
+.IP "\fB\-time\-passes\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-time-passes"
+Show pass timing statistics (not interesting in this program).
+.IP "\fB\-version\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-version"
+Show the version number of this program.
