LLVM Turorial (Based on Rust Language)

Chinese English

Motivation

• Recently learning Rust language, but don't know what to do, and may need to study LLVM IR related knowledge due to work reasons.
• Official LLVM Tutorial Document, there are few Chinese translations
• MLIR is a sub-project of LLVM, is the infrastructure of the artificial intelligence field, and also needs to understand the basic knowledge of LLVM IR

Reasonable Expectations

• As the cognitive level increases, the understanding of LLVM IR will gradually deepen, and it is difficult to guarantee the completeness and correctness of this document.
• This document is still written based on the official LLVM Tutorial document, and will be written according to the outline of this tutorial, supplemented and modified based on my own understanding and practical experience.
• MLIR is not the focus of this document, and may be briefly introduced in some chapters.
• Although performance issues are an important indicator, the main focus here is on principle reproduction, and irrelevant abstract concepts are avoided as much as possible to avoid over-complication
