LLVM in Parrot is getting even closer!

Привет!


After my post about finishing opsc_llvm branch few things happened.

  • Luben Karavelov jumped on this branch and implemented writing and reading LLVM bitcode. It will allow faster turn-around for crazy JIT prototype branch. Just because I don't have to spend time on generating quite complex Parrot's structures like VTABLE (which is auto-generated during build from template by some dark magic) and parrot_interp_t. Just load pre-compiled LLVM bitcode and lookup type by name.
  • James Keenan (aka jkeenan, aka kid51) stepped on “infrastructure” tasks. E.g. proper Configure/Makefile generating, testing and LLVM version check.
  • Jonathan “Duke” Leto did initial changes for “Module Navigational Methods”, but looks like he was sidetracked by other issues.


Kudos for every contributor! Not only including someone who committed changes, but everyone involved.
