Extended Description

LLVM have several examples that gives basic understanding how to use LLVM API.
But there is no example which shows simple way how to use MCStreamer API to generate COFF/ELF/EXE files from LLVM IR without generating intermediate .s assembly file.

[efriedma-quic]

llc is a short C++ program that can generate a .o file from an LLVM IR module. Object file output should be usable for all the supported output formats (Mach-O, ELF, Win32 COFF). LLVM does not provide a general-purpose linker, so it is not possible to generate an executable without an external linker.

Is that a sufficient answer, or are you looking for something else?

[lattner]

Eli is right, we already have this. LLC is a good example to follow.
