llvm-as: Assemble an IR file and include a module hash in the produced Bitcode file.

llvm-as

$ llvm-as --module-hash -o ${path-to-out-bc} ${path-to-source-ll}

try on your machine

This command is using the llvm-as tool, which is a part of the LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine) toolchain. The purpose of this command is to compile a LLVM assembly source file (with a .ll extension) into a LLVM bitcode module file (with a .bc extension) while computing the hash of the module.

Here is the breakdown of the different components of the command:

llvm-as: This is the executable for the llvm-as tool, which stands for LLVM assembler. It is used to convert LLVM assembly files into LLVM bitcode files.
--module-hash: This flag specifies that the tool should compute a hash of the module during the conversion process. The module hash captures the unique characteristics and content of the module.
-o ${path-to-out-bc}: This specifies the output file where the resulting LLVM bitcode module will be saved. ${path-to-out-bc} is a placeholder for the actual path and filename.
${path-to-source-ll}: This is the path and filename of the source LLVM assembly file that you want to convert into a bitcode module. ${path-to-source-ll} is a placeholder for the actual path and filename.

To use this command, you need to replace ${path-to-out-bc} with the desired path and filename for the output bitcode module and ${path-to-source-ll} with the path and filename of the LLVM assembly source file you want to compile.
