Swift開源:LLVMSwift - LLVM C API 的 Swift 封裝庫
LLVMSwift
LLVMSwift is a set of Swifty API wrappers for the LLVM C API. It makes compiler development feel great from Swift!
Usage
To start emitting IR, you'll want to create a Module object, with an optional Context parameter, and an IRBuilder that will build instructions for that module.
let module = Module(name: "main")
let builder = IRBuilder(module: module)
Once you do that, you can start adding functions, global variables, and generating instructions!
let main = builder.addFunction(name: "main",
type: FunctionType(argTypes: [],
returnType: VoidType())
let entry = builder.appendBasicBlock(named: "entry")
builder.positionAtEnd(of: entry)
builder.buildRetVoid()
module.dump()</code></pre>
The IRBuilder class has methods for almost all functions from the LLVM C API, like:
- builder.buildAdd
- builder.buildSub
- builder.buildMul
- builder.buildCondBr
- builder.addSwitch
and so many more.
Plus, it provides common wrappers around oft-used types like Function , Global , Switch , and PhiNode .
Installation
There are a couple, annoying steps you need to get it working before it'll build. Number one, you'll need a custom cllvm pkg-config file, which is included in the repo. Drop that in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig and make sure you have LLVM installed through homebrew :
brew install llvm
Once you do that, you can add LLVMSwift as a dependency for your own Swift compiler projects!
This project is used byTrill for all its code generation.
