# llvm-kaleidoscope-rs
The purpose of this repository is to learn about the [`llvm`][llvm] compiler
infrastructure and practice some [`rust-lang`][rust].
To reach the goals set, we follow the official llvm tutorial [`Kaleidoscope:
Implementing a Language with LLVM`][llvm-tutorial]. This tutorial is written in
`C++` and structured in multiple chapters, we will try to follow along and
implement every chapter in rust.
The topics of the chapters are as follows:
- Chapter 1: [Kaleidoscope Introduction and the Lexer][llvm-ch1]
- Chapter 2: [Implementing a Parser and AST][llvm-ch2]
- Chapter 3: [Code generation to LLVM IR][llvm-ch3]
- Chapter 4: [Adding JIT and Optimizer Support][llvm-ch4]
- Chapter 5: [Extending the Language: Control Flow][llvm-ch5]
The implementation after each chapter can be compiled and executed by checking
out the corresponding tag for the chapter.
```bash
> git tag -l
chapter1
chapter2
chapter3
chapter4
chapter5
```
Names of variables and functions as well as the structure of the functions are
mainly kept aligned with the official tutorial. This aims to make it easy to
map the `rust` implementation onto the `C++` implementation when following the
tutorial.
One further note on the llvm API, instead of using the llvm `C++` API we are
going to use the llvm `C` API and build our own safe wrapper specialized for
this tutorial. The wrapper offers a similar interface as the `C++` API and is
implemented in [`src/llvm/`](src/llvm/)
