New to LLVM- Guidance required.

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives
1

Hi

I am new to the LLVM infrastructure. I would like to contribute to the project. Looking at all the information available on LLVM, I am a little overwhelmed.
I have taken a compiler design course and have worked on another compiler project. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a little roadmap where I can get my feet wet a little. I am currently not sure where to start. I know this is not the right question to ask, but would appreciate it if someone could give me some guidance.

Thanks
Aditya

http://llvm.org/docs/ is a good place to start... some parts are more
useful than others, but LLVM Tutorial: Table of Contents — LLVM 16.0.0git documentation is one place to
start. http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html might also be useful.
http://llvm.org/demo/ is another way to get a feel for the LLVM IR
representation. Beyond that, I'm not sure what specifically you're
interested in... maybe take a look at
http://llvm.org/OpenProjects.html .

  Writing a compiler based on LLVM, perhaps?
