compiler-development

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured approach to building compilers using the LLVM infrastructure, covering frontend design, IR generation, optimization passes, and code emission to support language implementations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Frontend design and AST construction guidance for new languages
• LLVM IR generation patterns and best practices for robust backends
• Optimization pass orchestration and efficient code emission across targets
• Use Case: Create a small DSL and compile it to optimized machine code for a given architecture

Quick Start

Develop a tiny language frontend that translates arithmetic expressions into LLVM IR, runs a basic optimization pipeline, and emits executable code.
