-emit-llvm makes invalid bytecode

[innominate]

Binary package hint: dragonegg

when I had package llvm-gcc-4.5 I had the following problem:
$ llvm-gcc -O3 -emit-llvm hello.c -c -o hello.b
$ lli hello.bc
   lli: error loading program 'hello.bc': Invalid bitcode signature

I went back to llvm-gcc-4.2 and got expected results
$ llvm-gcc-4.2 -O3 -emit-llvm hello.c -c -o hello.b
$ lli hello.bc
   hello world

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It actually ignores _-emit-llvm_ completely. Which makes llvm-gcc pretty useless.

[michael, liao (michael-hliao)]

It's because that plugin (dragonegg) is built against 4.5.3,which mismatches the gcc version (4.5.4). Just rebuild dragonegg on 11.10 solve this issue.

[michael, liao (michael-hliao)]

ignore the last post, it just remove the warning "Potential incompatible plugin version. GCC: 4.5.3. Expected: 4.5.4" but still cannot emit bc file.

[michael, liao (michael-hliao)]

ok, I see the difference, it's not bug at all. as dragonegg uses different option to trigger LLVM IR generation. You need use '-flto' to generate LLVM IR instead of the previous '-emit-llvm'.

Thanks for the feedback. Closing then.

I have the same problem:

ubuntu 11.10 64 bit llvm3.0 dragonEgg3.0 llvm-gcc-4.6

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9447318/im-getting-llvm-gcc-potential-incompatible-plug-in-version

Then when I try

buse@buseZenbook:~$ llvm-gcc -flto hello.c -c -o hello.bc
Potential incompatible plugin version. GCC: 4.6. Expected: 4.6.1
Defines 'dragonegg_disable_version_check' as env variable to remove this warning

Hence -flto didn't work in my case.

try llvm-clang, to me it works
