[llvm-dev] Attempting EuroLLVM2020 as a beginner

Hi Hal, Bjoern,

Are you looking for recipe-style “how to do it” documentation? Or a higher-level design docs? I’m aware of the need for both, and have added

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/master/llvm/examples/LLJITExamples

and

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/master/llvm/docs/ORCv2.rst

However they’re both pretty rough and minimal so far.

We’re due for some tutorial modernization too, but I’ve been prioritizing ORCv2 development.

Unfortunately I don’t have access to Windows to test, so I’m not sure how smooth the tutorials are here. Are you running in to any specific issues with them?

Cheers,
Lang.

If you have suggestions on logistics, etc. then I think that llvm-devmeeting at lists.llvm.org is a good place. cc'ing Tanya in case she'd like to offer further advice.

At the US meeting this year, we had more tutorials than ever before, and we want the meetings to be productive for both experts and novices alike. Moreover, if there are specific topics on which you would like to see tutorials or other kinds of sessions, please do let us know. Feedback in this regard (from everybody) is very helpful.
