llvm dev - May 2017 - Support for monomorphization

Hi,


I am building a LLVM based compiler for a custom language , but would like to
know if there is any support for Monomorphization in LLVM.


But the fact that llvm::Type cannot be mutated , makes it harder to implement
this.

 ( Looking at the API , I see some member functions in the llvm::Value class
documentation but they were not necessarily helpful ).


Thanks,

Malhar

llvm IR provides capabilities somewhere between C and an idealised assembly
language for mainstream CPUs but with things such as an infinite number of
registers.

If you are writing a compiler for a language very different to C then it's
your job to figure out how to map your language features onto C/generalised
ASM.
