As we can see, even in the case of a single inheritance, the LLVM IR that is generated can appear…
The basic idea to implement this is to associate a table with function pointers with each object. Here, a table…
A class is a collection of data and methods. A class can inherit from another class, potentially adding more data…
High-level languages today usually make use of aggregate data types and object-oriented programming (OOP) constructs. LLVM IR has some support…
In LLVM, the IR code is run through a pipeline of passes. Each pass performs a single task, such as…
The IR module is the brace around all elements we generate for a compilation unit. At the global level, we…
We are almost done with emitting the IR code for a function! We only need to put the pieces together…
The parameters of a function also need some consideration. First, we need to map the types of the source language…
Functions (and also global variables) have a linkage style attached. With the linkage style, we define the visibility of a…
The conceptual idea of a basic block is that it is a linear sequence of instructions that are executed in…
