similar to: [LLVMdev] LLVM-C: getting the @llvm.global_ctors

I am going to post my first chapter, just to see if it is acceptable. Any feedback is good feedback for me.

I think it'd be nice to have a ToC describing what you plan to cover in the "hello world" tutorial. I'll take a look at the tutorial in the week end and send feed back.

That was all I needed to hear :-) Because I am already at "chapter 3", which is regular expressions in C, but then made so that each regex becomes a real and true function. And doubt suddenly struck. What if my style isn't exactly what the LLVM community wants... On 01 Sep 2010, at 15:09, nessim wrote: > hey Filip, > > I'm afraid i can't give you technical

As I have stated before, I am creating a LLVM-C tutorial. Now I expect it to be in a final draft form within 2~3 weeks, but how do I have to deliver it to the community? - File format ? - Style ? - ... Thank you, Filip

Most of the documents (html) are generated using rst2html. So I think a patch to the rst file in llvm/tools/llvmc/doc should be fine.

I am still having some trouble finding my way in the C++ files. Could you give me a clearer direction?

Hi, Is it possible to create a .dll / .so / .dylib by only using the LLVM-C headers ? If so, I cannot find it. Filip

Aside from using the C API, you cannot create dynamic libraries with LLVM. For that you need a linker. LLVM generates assembly files (.s) and very soon it will generate object files natively (.o). The clang driver generally uses an installed gcc to do the assemble and link steps at the moment. Reid On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 7:51 AM, F van der Meeren <llvm-dev at code2develop.com> wrote:

Hi, I am trying to get started with the llvm-c headers. Is there any place where I can get/retrieve documentation about it? Such as a basic tutorial, memory managment... Thank you, Filip

Hi Filip, It's best to email llvmdev, not me directly. A place to start helping is to start working on a new tutorial! :) -Chris On Jul 5, 2010, at 2:29 PM, F van der Meeren wrote: > Will there be any change in this situation? > And if not, how can I help? > > Filip > > On 04 Jul 2010, at 19:34, Chris Lattner wrote: > >> >> On Jul 4, 2010, at 12:40 AM,

I don't see why not. C is a worthy language, one that I think we should fully support. And by just providing some minor features really limits its usefulness. Right now, at this very instance it isn't usable. Except as a stepping stone to the bigger framework. But thats just my 2 cents. - Filip On 16 Sep 2010, at 19:51, Eric Christopher wrote: > > On Sep 16, 2010, at 5:35 AM, F

Can anyone explain how llc translates "appending linkage" global variables like llvm.global_ctors into assembly? In the case I am examining, the global_ctor variables are in multiple bitcode object modules produced by the llvm compiler as arrays of pointers. As documented, the arrays seem to be combined when the different bitcode object modules are linked into one, so now there is one

Hello, I have a question concerning llvm-c. I have set up a function that needs to invoke an external method, in a other library. It has the following signature: void* NSFullUserName(void); The void* can be replaced with a i8*, that far I was able to get, but when my call is invoked, the engine gives me the following message: LLVM ERROR: Tried to execute an unknown external function: i8* ()*

If you have llvm IR then you can use 'llc' to generate c code. Try $ llc <input_llvm_ir> -march=c -o /tmp/output.c This C backend is implemented in llvm/lib/Target/CBackend - Devang

I could extract all the functionality into wrapper methods. So that it would be possible to create such a thing in C. But without considering the coding standards (it comes directly out of my repository), why would you object against this? It seemed logical to me, to be able to create code in C, and then generate C out of it. This would be useful in things like a new flex/bison. And combining
