SimplePass


This is a trivial LLVM pass, which can be extended to analyse or transform LLVM IR. To build:

$ mkdir Build
$ cd Build
$ cmake ..
$ make

This will produce a library, called SimplePass.dyld (on OS X) or SimplePass.so (on other UNIX-like systems). This library can then be loaded by clang and will automatically insert itself at the end of the optimisation pipeline.

To use it, run this command from the build directory:

$ clang -Xclang -load -Xclang ./SimplePass.so -c {some source file}

The pass will be invoked at any optimisation level. If you are modifying SimplePass then look at the RegisterStandardPasses declarations at the bottom of the file to see how it is registered with the pass pipeline. You may wish to insert your pass at a different point.
