llvm-opt-pass

This is a minimal LLVM optimization pass that allows one to experiment with the LLVM infrastructure for analysis and optimization.

How to Build the Project?

Build the project using $ make.

Delete the auto-generated files using $ make clean.

Compiling a C/C++ Compilation Unit to LLVM IR

Use $ clang++ -std=c++17 -Wall -Wextra -emit-llvm -S -fno-discard-value-names some-file.cpp to compile the file some-file.cpp to LLVM IR.

Running the Program and Analyzing LLVM IR

Use ./transformation some-file.ll to run the small LLVM-IR-Analyzer program on the some-file.ll LLVM IR file.
