[llvm-dev] A beginner's tutorial about LLVM IR

[Shivam Gupta via llvm-dev]

Hello,

It would be very helpful if in the learning process a few of your
interested students update the OCaml Kaleidoscope.  It is similar to the
tutorial written in C++ but not updated from a long time.

Currently, It is not in the trunk of the LLVM mono repo but can be found in
11.0.0 here-
https://releases.llvm.org/11.0.0/docs/tutorial/index.html#kaleidoscope-implementing-a-language-with-llvm-in-objective-caml
.

They may have a good chance to learn LLVM IR, LLVM APIs, OCaml binding,
writing test cases in LLVM IR using lit and filecheck, patch review process
with Phabricator instance (https://reviews.llvm.org/), etc.

Best,
Shivam
