-=head1 NAME
-
-gccas - convenience script to run B<llvm-as> and B<opt>
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-B<gccas> [I<options>] I<filename>
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The B<gccas> shell script passes an LLVM assembly file through the B<llvm-as>
-and B<opt> programs to generate an optimized bytecode file. Its name is an
-historical artifact from when it was a full executable used to process LLVM
-assembly generated by the L<llvmgcc|llvmgcc> or L<llvmg++|llvmgxx> front-ends.
-Currently this is a shell script that simulates what the old B<gccas> executable
-once did.
-
-B<gccas> performs a number of optimizations on the input program, including but
-not limited to: promotion of stack values to SSA registers; elimination of dead
-globals, function arguments, code, and types; tail-call elimination;
-loop-invariant code motion; global common-subexpression elimination; and
-sparse conditional constant propagation. It accomplishes this by using the
-B<-std-compile-opts> option to the B<opt> tool.

-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over
-
-=item B<--help>
-
-Print a summary of command line options.
-
-=item B<-o> F<filename>
-
-Specify the name of the output file which will hold the assembled bytecode.
-
-=item B<--disable-inlining>
-
-Disable the inlining pass. By default, it is enabled.
-
-=item B<--disable-opt>
-
-Disable all assembler-time optimization passes.
-
-=item B<-disable-compression>
-
-Do not compress the generated bytecode.
-
-=item B<--stats>
-
-Print statistics.
-
-=item B<--time-passes>
-
-Record the amount of time needed for each pass and print it to standard
-error.
-
-=item B<--verify>
-
-Verify each pass result.

-
-=head1 EXIT STATUS
-
-If B<gccas> succeeds, it will exit with an exit status of 0.
-Otherwise, if an error occurs, it will exit with a non-zero exit
-status.
