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

 Key Features

Get to grips with effectively using LLVM libraries step-by-step

Understand LLVM compiler high-level design and apply the same principles to your own compiler

Use compiler-based tools to improve the quality of code in C++ projects

 Book Description

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 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.
