Hi, <br><br>I went through the front end part of the clang (a bit atleast) and I went through some of the documentation on the <a href="http://llvm.org">llvm.org</a> website and was trying to know what happens after the front end is done with the code. Could you tell me how does llvm comes into picture as soon as clang part of the interface deals with the source code.<br>
<br>Thanks.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 12:55 AM, Bill Wendling <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wendling@apple.com">wendling@apple.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

I mean can anyone tell me about the lexer, parser, codegen related .cpp and .h files inside the LLVM solution project. I would like to understand the LLVM's compiler in the same way that the kaleidoscope compiler is explained.<br>

That's a tall order, and I don't think we would be able to help you in general. However, there is a lot of documentation on LLVM (optimization passes, analysis, code generation, dead chicken waving) here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://llvm.org/docs" target="_blank">http://llvm.org/docs</a><br>
<br>
For the front-end (lexer, parser, semantic analysis, voodoo), you will want to look at these web pages:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://clang.llvm.org/" target="_blank">http://clang.llvm.org/</a><br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
