[llvm-dev] How to produce the same result of clang++ -Oz through opt -Oz (original) (raw)

Hi,

This is a known issue: clang -O3 is slightly different from opt -O3 and it is hard to reproduce exactly. It'd be great to refactor it all so that LLVM exposes a common way for frontend to run the exact same thing.

Dear developers,

I am trying to use 'opt' command with different Optlevels -O3 and -Oz to an IR file to reproduce the results of directly applying clang++ -O3 and -Oz to a source c++ file. 1. Firstly I use the following commands to produce the result of opt -O3: *clang++ -O3 -Xclang -disable-llvm-optzns -emit-llvm -c raytracer.cpp -o raytracer.bc* *opt -O3 raytracer.bc -o tmp.bc * llc -O3 tmp.bc -o tmp.s clang++ tmp.s -o tmp.out 2. Then I use clang -O3 directly: clang++ -O3 raytracer.cpp -o raytracer.out 3. Finally I compare the two files tmp.o and raytracer.o: diff tmp.out raytracer.out We can find the two files are exactly the same. However, things are different in -Oz level 1. I use the following commands to produce the result of opt -Oz: *clang++ -Oz -Xclang -disable-llvm-optzns -emit-llvm -c raytracer.cpp -o raytracer.bc* *opt -Oz raytracer.bc -o tmp.bc * llc -filetype=obj tmp.bc -o tmp.o (there is no -Oz option for llc) 2. Then I use clang -Oz directly: clang++ -Oz -c raytracer.cpp -o raytracer.o 3. Finally I compare the two files tmp.o and raytracer.o: diff tmp.o raytracer.o It shows 'Binary files tmp.o and raytracer.o differ' why 'opt -Oz' cannot produce the same result as 'clang++ -Oz' and how to solve it ? I use LLVM 10.0.1 and CentOS 7.6. I'd very much appreciate if you could help me with this. Thank you. Kind Regards, Jiayu Zhao
