Hi,
I am trying to write my own backend using LLVM and I downloaded the support
files from the book titled "LLVM Cookbook" for the "Toy"
architecture
described in the book.
I made the changes described in the book to register the TOY architecture
but am seeing compile errors. I am not sure if I set this up correctly. The
code that I am compiling for the backend was downloaded from the publisher
and should be tested? (I think they used 3.5 whereas I am using 3.8.0)
Any help would be much appreciated!

There are always pretty big, and incompatible, changes between major LLVM versions. Ideally, the publisher of your book would provide a site with updates to their code. The easiest thing for you to do is to get LLVM 3.5 and use that. Or, you could do a diff between the 3.5 and 3.8 versions of the headers for the classes you're inheriting from and see if there's been something like an obvious simple renaming of methods.

(I think they used 3.5 whereas I am using 3.8.0)Yeah, that book is old enough and the content, mainly based on current code, doesn't age well. :) However, it should still contain the general ideas, but you'll have to dig the code more deeper than you would a few years ago. You could try the official document: http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.html or an old but very thorough experiment (probably same age as the book): http://jonathan2251.github.io/lbd/ http://jonathan2251.github.io/lbd/TutorialLLVMBackendCpu0.pdf Or this tutorial: http://llvm.org/devmtg/2014-04/PDFs/Talks/Building%20an%20LLVM%20backend.pdf Or, as Bruce said, you could use 3.5. A good rule of thumb is, if you're serious about LLVM, grab ToT and suffer the initial impact. It's not that big. If, OTOH, this is just for fun, or a side project, use and old but sure version, and spend more time on the core of your project. cheers, --renato
