Apologies for the noob question, but what is an IR?
- dnautics 3mo agointermediate representation. attempting to analyze zig code directly would be too hard (especially with comptime). on the way to the compiler backend, the compiler builds a simplified representation that only has "actually existing functions" and is very straightforward, e.g. function 10112: 0: argument 0 1: argument 1 2: argument 2 3: add 0, 1 4: store 2 5: call function 1342, (2, 4) 6: return 5 you can see how building a data dependency graph from this would be easy.
