Slang LLVM/Clang Library
========================
The purpose of this project is to use the [LLVM/Clang infrastructure](https://github.com/shader-slang/llvm-project/) to provide features for the [Slang language compiler](https://github.com/shader-slang/slang/).
These features may include
* Use as a replacement for a file based downstream C++ compiler for CPU targets
* Allow the 'host-callable' to generate in memory executable code directly
* Allow parsing of C/C++ code
* Compile Slang code to bitcode
* JIT execution of bitcode
Currently only executing code via 'host-callable' mechanism is supported.
How to use
==========
If the `slang-llvm` shared library/dll is available to Slang, Slang will automatically use LLVM JIT for `host-callable` compilations.
Limitiations
============
* Only supports `host-callable`
Building LLVM/Clang
===================
This repo's `external/build-llvm.sh` script builds llvm with the correct
options to be used by slang, please refer to that.
