Add a new language to LLVM 3.6 Framework

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives
#1

I am trying to add a new language to integrate with LLVM 3.6 Framework. I have followed a tutorial on - Kaleidoscope: Implementing a Language with LLVM but it dosen’t explain anything on how to integrate a language with LLVM make build system. I have also gone through LLVMBuild Guide (http://llvm.org/docs/LLVMBuild.html) but am still stuck.

My short term goals are to create a language/tool which takes an input file with “.bwt” file extensionand produces an output file with “.owt” file extension

Stacker project in LLVM is the closest to what I want to achieve but has long been removed from LLVM framework.

Any tutorials or simiar LLVM projects which might help me with my short term goals?

Thanks,

Ambuj

see

"Front ends: programming language support"

You may study how front end languages are built with LLVM .

One important example is CLang itself :

If you add a copy of CLang build statements replaced by your language name
with other required modifications into CLang build system , and created
directories parallel to Clang , I think you may obtain what you want .

Thank you very much .
