Utility functions for the llvm interface

This package is not currently in any snapshots. If you're interested in using it, we recommend adding it to Stackage Nightly. Doing so will make builds more reliable, and allow stackage.org to host generated Haddocks.

The Low-Level Virtual-Machine is a compiler back-end with optimizer. You may also call it a high-level portable assembler. This package provides various utility functions for the Haskell interface to LLVM, for example:

  • arithmetic operations with more general types but better type inference than the llvm interface in LLVM.Extra.Arithmetic,

  • a type class for loading and storing sets of values with one command (macro) in LLVM.Extra.Memory,

  • storing and reading Haskell values in an LLVM compatible format in LLVM.Extra.Marshal,

  • LLVM functions for loading and storing values in Haskell's Storable format in LLVM.Extra.Storable,

  • support value tuples and instance declarations of LLVM classes in LLVM.Extra.Tuple,

  • handling of termination by a custom monad on top of CodeGenFunction in LLVM.Extra.MaybeContinuation

  • various kinds of loops (while) and condition structures (if-then-else) in LLVM.Extra.Control

  • more functional loop construction using LLVM.Extra.Iterator

  • complex Haskell values mapped to LLVM values in LLVM.Extra.Multi.Value

  • advanced vector operations such as sum of all vector elements, cumulative sum, floor, non-negative fraction, absolute value in LLVM.Extra.Vector

  • type classes for handling scalar and vector operations in a uniform way in LLVM.Extra.ScalarOrVector
