為了很多因素(降低Playform depdent / Optimization等。 GCC 跟 CLANG 都引進了一層中間層,這曾的目的是定義一個平台無關的指令集, 以老朋友hello來示範如何輸出中間產物。
1 2 3 4 5 6 #include <stdio.h> int main () { printf ("Hello world\n" ); return 0 ; }
GCC GCC的中間語言叫做Register transfer language 利用下面的方式產生hello.c.xxxr.expand
的檔案。
1 $ gcc -S -fdump-rtl-expand hello.c
輸出結果類似這個樣子

如果對RTL有興趣的,可以參考
Clang 相較於GCC,Clang的中間語言叫做Bitcode 利用下面的方式產生hello.ll
的檔案。
1 $ clang -S -emit-llvm hello.c
內容大概長這個樣子
