How to Compile and Run llc-3.4 generated C++ code using native compiler(g++)?

Note:

Goal of this work is to use some of the c++11 features in non c++11 compiler

Following steps are done,

Generate llvm bit code,

clang++ -emit-llvm -c test.cc -o test.o

Convert llvm bitcode to c++ code,
```
llc-3.4 test.o -o test.cpp -march=cpp
```
Getting below error while compiling the llvm generated c++ code using GNU g++

arunprasadr@geekvm:~/works/myex/llvm$ g++ test.cpp test.cpp:3:23: fatal error: llvm/Pass.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

I even tried adding llvm-dev include path, but still fails,

Solution

You need to compile against the flags provided by llvm-config. As seen below:

input.cc

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
}

Command Line

[3:21pm][wlynch@apple /tmp] /opt/llvm/3.4/bin/clang++ -emit-llvm -c input.cc -o input.o
[3:22pm][wlynch@apple /tmp] /opt/llvm/3.4/bin/llc input.o -o llvm.cc -march=cpp
[3:22pm][wlynch@apple /tmp] /opt/llvm/3.4/bin/clang++ -gcc-toolchain /opt/gcc/4.8.2/ llvm.cc `/opt/llvm/3.4/bin/llvm-config --cxxflags --ldflags --libs`

And just to be helpful, here's the output of the llvm-config line on my machine:
