Learn LLVM 17 : a beginner's guide to learning LLVM compiler tools and core libraries with C++

Learn LLVM 17 a beginner's guide to learning LLVM compiler tools and core libraries with C++

LLVM was built to bridge the gap between the theoretical knowledge found in compiler textbooks and the practical demands of compiler development. With a modular codebase and advanced tools, LLVM empowers developers to build compilers with ease. This book serves as a practical introduction to LLVM, g...
