[LLVMdev] Python to VHDL using LLVM; was "Re: LLVMdev Digest, Vol 123, Issue 3"

[Jevin Sweval]

The only VHDL to LLVM project that I know of is nvc. [0] I haven't
tried it personally and from a cursory look through the source it
seems like there is a LLVM backend and a "native" backend (not sure
what that means). If you're really crazy you might want to see if you
could massage GHDL [1] (VHDL GCC frontend) + DragonEgg [2] (LLVM
backend for GCC) to get you LLVM IR.

I'm not sure about Python to LLVM. There was Unladen Swallow [3] but
that was abandoned a while ago.

Cheers,
Jevin
