...rse) a misnomer. A "system" to a program or a compiler driver or an invoker or anything specific like that. *LLVM* is a system; this program is a program with a more limited purpose. Of the list below, llvmcd comes closest to describing what this tool does. Another possible name is llvmgen (even though I do think it should have options to compile to native code). This fits slightly better with my view of how users should view the compilation process in LLVM (but llvmcd is ok too). I would like to encourage users to think about the "normal" output of our compiler as ll...

Hi all, I am trying to compile my toy language to LLVM back end. (I am new to LLVM, so my questions may sound naive) I am looking at some tutorials about LLVM, most are about how to use LLVM IRBuilder, however, I find the API provided by IRBuilder is quite imperative and verbose, and the API changes so fast that most of the tutorials are out of dated. So I am wondering what's
