Preface
Constructing a compiler is a complex and fascinating task. The LLVM project provides reusable components for your compiler. The LLVM core libraries implement a world-class optimizing code generator, which translates a source language-independent intermediate representation of machine code for all popular CPU architectures. The compilers for many programming languages already take advantage of LLVM technology.
This book teaches you how to implement your own compiler and how to use LLVM to achieve it. You will learn how the frontend of a compiler turns source code into an abstract syntax tree, and how to generate intermediate representation (IR) from it. Adding an optimization pipeline to your compiler, you can compile the IR to performant ...
