Clang Warnings
Clang has two types of diagnostics, errors and warnings. Errors arise when the code does not conform to the language. Such things as missing semi-colons and mismatched braces prevent compilation and will cause Clang to emit an error message.

Object Caching with the Kaleidoscope Example Program
In previous posts I described the process of porting the LLVM Kaleidoscope tutorial program to use MCJIT as its execution engine and introduced a lazy compilation implementation with the MCJIT engine.

Kaleidoscope Performance with MCJIT
In a previous post I described the process of porting the LLVM Kaleidoscope tutorial program to use MCJIT as its execution engine. After navigating through a serious of road blocks we ended up with an implementation that was working as expected.

Using MCJIT with the Kaleidoscope Tutorial
You may have noticed that there are two different JIT execution engines in the LLVM project. The older implementation (llvm::JIT) is a sort of ad hoc implementation that brings together various pieces of the LLVM code generation and adds its own glue to get dynamically generated code into memory one function at a time.

EuroLLVM 2013, Paris, France
Two days after the end of EuroLLVM 2013, I finally got the energy to write a piece about it. It was a lot of hard work by an amazing team of volunteer organizers lead by Tobias Grosser, Duncan Sands, Sylvestre Ledru and Arnaud de Grandmaison, plus the usual suspects of the previous events, and in the end there was very little that had gone wrong, even in the slightest.
