Dragonegg is a gcc plugin that allows gcc to make use of the LLVM optimizer and code generator instead of gcc's own optimizer and code generator.
You need to have gcc 4.5 or above, with the target machine being x86-32/x86-64
and an ARM processor. Also, you need to download the dragonegg source code and build the dragonegg.so
file.
Do the following steps:
hello world
program:$ cat testprog.c #include<stdio.h> int main() { printf("hello world"); }
$ gcc testprog.c -S -O1 -o - .file " testprog.c" .section .rodata.str1.1,"aMS",@progbits,1 .LC0: .string "Hello world!" .text .globl main .type main, @function main: subq $8, %rsp movl $.LC0, %edi call puts movl $0, %eax addq $8, %rsp ret .size main, .-main
-fplugin=path/dragonegg.so
flag in the command line of gcc makes gcc use LLVM's optimizer and LLVM codegen:$ gcc testprog.c -S -O1 -o - -fplugin=./dragonegg.so .file " testprog.c" # Start of file scope inline assembly .ident "GCC: (GNU) 4.5.0 20090928 (experimental) LLVM: 82450:82981" # End of file scope inline assembly .text .align 16 .globl main .type main,@function main: subq $8, %rsp movl $.L.str, %edi call puts xorl %eax, %eax addq $8, %rsp ret .size main, .-main .type .L.str,@object .section .rodata.str1.1,"aMS",@progbits,1 .L.str: .asciz "Hello world!" .size .L.str, 13 .section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
