+
+<div class="answer">
+<p>
+Passing "-Wa,-disable-opt -Wl,-disable-opt" will disable *all* cleanup and
+optimizations done at the llvm level, leaving you with the truly horrible
+code that you desire.

+
+<div class="answer">
+<p>Yes, you can use LLVM to convert code from any language LLVM supports to C.
+Note that the generated C code will be very low level (all loops are lowered
+to gotos, etc) and not very pretty (comments are stripped, original source
+formatting is totally lost, variables are renamed, expressions are regrouped),
+so this may not be what you're looking for. However, this is a good way to add
+C++ support for a processor that does not otherwise have a C++ compiler.
+</p>
+
+<p>Use commands like this:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li><p>Compile your program as normal with llvm-g++:</p></li>
+
+<div class="doc_code">$ llvm-g++ x.cpp -o program</div>
+
+<p>or:</p>
+
+<div class="doc_code">
+ llvm-g++ a.cpp -c<br>
+ llvm-g++ b.cpp -c<br>
+ llvm-g++ a.o b.o -o program
+</div>
+
+<p>With llvm-gcc3, this will generate program and program.bc. The .bc file is
+the LLVM version of the program all linked together.</p>
+
+<li><p>Convert the LLVM code to C code, using the LLC tool with the C
+backend:</p></li>
+
+<div class="doc_code">$ llc -march=c program.bc -o program.c</div>
+
+<li><p>Finally, compile the c file:</p></li>
+
+<div class="doc_code">$ cc x.c</div>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>Note that, by default, the C backend does not support exception handling.
+If you want/need it for a certain program, you can enable it by passing
+"-enable-correct-eh-support" to the llc program. The resultant code will
+use setjmp/longjmp to implement exception support that is correct but
+relatively slow.
+</p>
+
+<p>Also note: this specific sequence of commands won't work if you use a
+function defined in the C++ runtime library (or any other C++ library). To
+access an external C++ library, you must manually
+compile libstdc++ to LLVM bytecode, statically link it into your program, then
+use the commands above to convert the whole result into C code. Alternatively,
+you can compile the libraries and your application into two different chunks
+of C code and link them.</p>
