eBook Description:

Learn LLVM 12: Learn how to build and use all parts of real-world compilers, including the frontend, optimization pipeline, and a new backend by leveraging the power of LLVM core libraries

LLVM was built to bridge the gap between compiler textbooks and actual compiler development. It provides a modular codebase and advanced tools which help developers to build compilers easily. This Learn LLVM 12 book provides a practical introduction to LLVM, gradually helping you navigate through complex scenarios with ease when it comes to building and working with compilers.

You’ll start by configuring, building, and installing LLVM libraries, tools, and external projects. Next, the book will introduce you to LLVM design and how it works in practice during each LLVM compiler stage: frontend, optimizer, and backend. Using a subset of a real programming language as an example, you will then learn how to develop a frontend and generate LLVM IR, hand it over to the optimization pipeline, and generate machine code from it. Later chapters will show you how to extend LLVM with a new pass and how instruction selection in LLVM works. You’ll also focus on Just-in-Time compilation issues and the current state of JIT-compilation support that LLVM provides, before finally going on to understand how to develop a new backend for LLVM.

• Configure, compile, and install the LLVM framework
• Understand how the LLVM source is organized
• Discover what you need to do to use LLVM in your own projects
• Explore how a compiler is structured, and implement a tiny compiler
• Generate LLVM IR for common source language constructs
• Set up an optimization pipeline and tailor it for your own needs
• Extend LLVM with transformation passes and clang tooling
• Add new machine instructions and a complete backend

By the end of this Learn LLVM 12 book, you will have gained real-world experience in working with the LLVM compiler development framework with the help of hands-on examples and source code snippets.
