llvm-cat: Concatenate Bitcode files.
$ llvm-cat ${filename1-bc} ${filename2-bc} -o ${path-to-out-bc}
try on your machine

This command utilizes the "llvm-cat" tool to concatenate LLVM bitcode files together. Here's a breakdown of each component:

  • "llvm-cat": This is the command used to invoke the LLVM-based tool.
  • "${filename1-bc}": This is a placeholder for the name of the first input file. Replace "${filename1-bc}" with the actual name and extension of the first LLVM bitcode file you want to concatenate.
  • "${filename2-bc}": This is a placeholder for the name of the second input file. Replace "${filename2-bc}" with the actual name and extension of the second LLVM bitcode file you want to concatenate.
  • "-o": This flag is used to specify the output file name or path.
  • "${path-to-out-bc}": This is a placeholder for the desired name and path of the output LLVM bitcode file. Replace "${path-to-out-bc}" with the actual name and path where you want to save the concatenated bitcode file.

By executing this command with the appropriate file names and paths, the llvm-cat tool will merge the contents of the two input LLVM bitcode files and save the result as the specified output file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
