[LLVMdev] Code-generation: lang=>JSON, JSON=>lang and merging into lang
Considering engineering my own code-generator. If I do go ahead, will open-source the end result. Needs to read [parse] one language, and output JSON (conformant to a specific JSON-schema). Then needs to read JSON, and reproduce the code in that language, and [possibly] merge the generated code with existing code. Languages I'm looking to support are all rather popular (Python, Go, Rust, JavaScript). Any pointers—e.g.: specific LLVM libraries and sub-projects to use—would be appreciated.

> reproduce the code in that languageIs the intention to exactly reproduce the original source code? Or some code that's functionally equivalent?

Possibly protobuf or capn proto would be much more clean alternatives to json. I was working with interpreting instruction semantics a while back, and you shouldn't have to write a parser to get the data structure back into coherent form, you can get what you want automatically and have the structure isolated into a common schema.
