How does this compare to llvmlite?
Is this going to support a larger portion of the LLVM API?
- eliben 10y agoIt looks to be a less complete solution, since it only relies on the LLVM C API which is incomplete. llvmlite digs into the C++ API as well, so while it has more work to do to keep up with changes in LLVM, it's more more feature-complete
- aleclm 10y agoThe LLVM-C API is quite powerful, and I'm planning to upstream some patch to expose additional stuff. On the other hand, llvmlite doesn't even parse existing IR, it's basically write-only. Plus, representing the IR in Python makes it less memory efficient than using the native representation.
