Présentation de l'éditeur
Get to grips with LLVM essentials and use the core libraries to build advanced tools
About This Book
- Learn how to configure, build, and use LLVM and Clang based tools
- Explore the depths of the LLVM front-end, IR, code generator, and libraries, and learn how a modern compiler is implemented in a practical way.
- Customize your project to benefit from Just in Time compilation (JIT), static analysis and source-to-source transformations.
Who This Book Is For
This book is intended for enthusiasts, computer science students, and compiler engineers interested in learning about the LLVM framework. You need a background in C++ and, although not mandatory, should know at least some compiler theory. Whether you are a newcomer or a compiler expert, this book provides a practical introduction to LLVM and avoids complex scenarios. If you are interested enough and excited about this technology, then this book is definitely for you.
What You Will Learn
- Configure, build, and install extra LLVM open source projects including Clang tools, static analyzer, Compiler-RT, LLDB, DragonEgg, libc++, and LLVM test-suite
- Understand the LLVM library design and interaction between libraries and standalone tools
- Increase your knowledge of source code processing stages by learning how the Clang frontend uses a lexer, parser, and syntax analysis
- Manipulate, generate, and play with LLVM IR files while writing custom IR analyses and transformation passes
- Write tools to use LLVM Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation capabilities
- Find bugs and improve your code by using the static analyzer
- Design source code analysis and transformation tools using LibClang, LibTooling, and the Clang plugin interface
In Detail
LLVM is a bleeding edge compiler technology framework. Easily extendable and designed as a multitude of libraries, LLVM provides a smooth experience for compiler newcomers and reduces the steep learning curve often associated with compiler development.
To start, this book will show you how to configure, build, and install LLVM libraries, tools, and external projects. Next, you will be introduced to LLVM design and how it works in practice throughout each LLVM compiler stage: frontend, IR, backend, the JIT engine, cross-compilation capabilities, and the plugin interface. With multiple hands-on examples and source code snippets, Getting Started with LLVM Core Libraries ensures a solid and smooth first step into the LLVM compiler development environment.
Biographie de l'auteur
Bruno Cardoso Lopes
Bruno Cardoso Lopes received a PhD in Computer Science from University of Campinas, Brazil. He's been an LLVM contributor since 2007 and implemented the MIPS backend from scratch, which he has been maintaining for several years. Among his other contributions, he has written the x86 AVX support and improved the ARM assembler. His research interests include code compression techniques and reduced bit width ISAs. In the past, he has also developed drivers for Linux and FreeBSD operating systems.
Rafael Auler
Rafael Auler is a PhD candidate at University of Campinas, Brazil. He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from the same university. For his Master's work, he wrote a proof-of-concept tool that automatically generates LLVM backends based on architecture description files. Currently, his PhD research topics include dynamic binary translation, Just-in-Time compilers, and computer architecture. Rafael was also a recipient of the Microsoft Research 2013 Graduate Research Fellowship Award.
