LLVM's Kaleidoscope tutorial but in Rust.
Why do I make life harder for myself?
Run make help for more crate-specific build options.
LLVMKaleidoscope uses crates
(such as inkwell)
for LLVM IR generation and compilation. These dependencies ultimately require
an installation of LLVM on your system. However, the installer for Windows
provided on the
LLVM release page
is notably missing a couple important files and binaries, including
llvm-config.exe and pretty much all of the header files in the include
directory. Therefore, I had to build LLVM from source, which is not a very
fun thing to do when your laptop falls woefully short of LLVM's hardware
requirements. If you need a working copy of LLVM built using Visual Studio
2019, you can find a .7z file here.
