Does anyone have any LLVM IR examples implementing things using the instructions for SSE, like complex arithmetic or 3D vector-matrix stuff? I'd like to have HLVM use them "under the hood" for some things but I cannot see all of the operations that I was expecting (e.g. dot product) and am not sure what works when (e.g. "Not all targets support all types however."). --

I was assuming that LLVM's implementations were incomplete. Are they now complete? So anything that a CPU can do and LLVM has bindings for is implemented? -- Dr Jon Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/?e

I've experienced GCC induced eyeball-clawing.... Not pretty!

> How do you handle tail calls and value types? I haven't worried too much about optimisation yet, so it doesn't do anything special for tail calls (although neither does the java compiler). LLVM types are translated to their equivalent java primitive type (or currently it raises an assertion if there is no equivalent type). -- David Roberts http://da.vidr.cc/ On Sat, Nov 28, 2009

Googling for "LLVM SIMD" shows some fascinating looking examples: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20051017/028929.html but they don't seem to be in my SVN checkout. How can I get hold of these demos? -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/?e

I'm thinking of a library that compiles an AST represented by an OCaml data

Is there a tool to spit LLVM's IR out in a more machine-friendly syntax like XML? -- Dr Jon Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/?e

Are there any papers in the works which benchmark some specification suite of C programs on GCC, LLVM-GCC, and CLANG? The only stuff I have seen so far are some bar charts in a few LLVM presentations, would be nice to have something a little more comprehensive.

I meant the OCaml bindings let OCaml call existing C++ LLVM routines, such as creating an execution engine, JIT-ing a function with existing JIT or

I'm hoping to have a stab at getting a tiny language implementation up and running soon. I assume I can just pull in Boehm's GC to get a very rudimentary collector up and running. However, can this work using JIT compilation from OCaml or will the new GC try to traverse the OCaml program's own stack? -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd.

What happened to the HLVM project? I understand it was intended to be a high-level VM specifically for dynamic languages and this post indicates that it was integrated into the LLVM project last year: http://www.nabble.com/NEWS:-HLVM-merges-with-LLVM-td9627113.html But I cannot find any code in LLVM that looks like it would have come from HLVM. -- Dr Jon Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy

This is not a quite fair comparison. Other virtual machines must be doing garbage collection, while LLVM, as it is using C code, it is taking advantage of memory allocation by hand.

Try this google query. I know there's been some discussion/work on OCaml and LLVM. site:lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev OCaml interface On Nov 24, 2007, at 6:58 PM, Jon Harrop wrote: > > Hi! > > I just took another look at the LLVM project and it has come along > in leaps > and bounds since I last looked.
