LLVM bindings written in Zig

LLVM Kaleidoscope written on Zig

The purpose of this repository is to learn about the llvm compiler infrastructure and practice some ziglang.

To reach the goals set, we follow the official llvm tutorial Kaleidoscope: Implementing a Language with LLVM. This tutorial is written in C++ and structured in multiple chapters, we will try to follow along and implement every chapter in zig.

Requirement

• zig v0.12.0 or higher.

llvm-zig's Issues

Roadmap

Initially, the LLVM 16 binding is being ported, which may later be extended to older versions for greater compatibility.

Based on the references in the readme will include some examples from the official LLVM-doc tutorial.

Note: Although the project is using the name Kaleidoscope tutorial. Nothing prevents the (llvm-kaleidoscope-zig -> llvm-zig) binding from being renamed for practical purposes other than educational purposes only.

Contributions are always welcome!!
