LLVM Backend

Generate object code using LLVM.

The LLVM backend is the original and default backend for Volt, and as such is the most fully featured.

Modules

volt.llvm.intrinsicVersion	Get the intrinsic version.
volt.llvm.backend	Main module for the LLVM Backend.
volt.llvm.host	Host or JIT compilation code.
volt.llvm.state	Implementation of the State class.
volt.llvm.toplevel	Code handling control flow and toplevel contstructs.
volt.llvm.type	Code and classes for turning Volt Types into LLVM types.
volt.llvm.constant	Code for generating constant expresions.
volt.llvm.expression	Most of the expression to llvmbitcode generation code is in this module.
volt.llvm.interfaces	Interfaces that the rest of the LLVM Backend code uses.
volt.llvm.common	Common code generation code.
volt.llvm.debugInfo	Debug info generation code.
volt.llvm.dwarf	DWARF enums and code.

Classes

LLVMDriver	The beckend part of the Driver that handles the backend and running of the commands.
LlvmBackend	Main interface for the Driver to the llvm backend.
BitcodeResult	A llvm result that saves to bitcode files.
ObjectResult	Backend results that procudes a object file.
VoltState	Collection of objects used by pretty much all of the translation code. It isn't called Module, Context or Builder because it will collide in meaning with language concepts.
LlvmVisitor	Visits a module and turn it into code.
Type	Base class for a LLVM backend types. Contains a refernce to the irType for this type, the llvmType and the debugging info for this type.
VoidType	Void .
PrimitiveType	Integer but not void.
PointerType	PointerType represents a standard C pointer.
ArrayType	Array type.
StaticArrayType	Static array type.
CallableType	Base class for callable types FunctionType and DelegateType.
FunctionType	Function type.
DelegateType	Delegates are lowered here into a struct with two members.
StructType	Backend instance of a ir.Struct.
UnionType	Backend instance of a ir.Union.
Value	Represents a single LLVMValueRef plus the associated high level type.
State	Collection of objects used by pretty much all of the translation code. It isn't called Module, Context or Builder because it will collide in meaning with LLVM and language concepts.
