LLVM tutorial

Fellow Mac developer Nick Shanks recently pointed me at a great article for anyone interested in creating their own programming language or compiler: The LLVM Tutorial. It illustrates how one would use the LLVM libraries to create a nifty little sample language.

While I'm at it, I may point out my other postings about things that may be useful if you want to create a compiler of your own. Some cover details that LLVM will take care of for you:

• Nice text about Intel Assembler
• Intel Assembler on Mac OS X
• Learn NASM on OS X
• Debugging Assembler on Mac OS X
• Stack backwards, head hurts
• Generating machine code at runtime
• Building a loader
• Rough outline about mark-sweep garbage collector
• How to create the runtime/object model backend for an object-oriented programming language
