Is Python based on LLVM?

An open source (Apache-licensed) compiler for Python, Pyston uses the LLVM compiler infrastructure to run Python using just-in-time compilation, or JITing, a technique employed in the Java Virtual Machine. The newest iteration of Pyston, version 0.2, is still far from production-ready but is quickly taking shape.

What language is LLVM written?

C++
LLVM/Programming languages
LLVM itself is written in C++. LLVM’s APIs are available in C and C++ incarnations. Much language development tends to happen with C/C++ as a base.

What is clang in Python?

Clang is a front-end compiler for C, C++ and Objective C. It’s a liberally licensed open-source project backed by Apple, which uses it for its own tools.

What is LLVM Python?

Description. The LLVM Project provides an intermediate representation (LLVM-IR) that can be compiled on many platforms. LLVM-IR is used by analytical frameworks to achieve language and platform independence. This talk will go through the steps of wrestling Python into LLVM-IR with a simple, static one-pass compiler.

Is LLVM a language?

LLVM is designed around a language-independent intermediate representation (IR) that serves as a portable, high-level assembly language that can be optimized with a variety of transformations over multiple passes.

Is LLVM a runtime?

The GraalVM LLVM runtime can execute programming languages that can be transformed to LLVM bitcode. This includes languages like C/C++, Fortran and others.

Where is LibClang?

3 Answers. You probably have libclang. so. 1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-unknown-linux or somewhere similar.

What is Gccxml?

Description. GCC-XML parses a C++ source file as it is seen by the compiler when it is built. An easy-to-parse XML representation of the class, function, and namespace declarations is dumped to a specified file. Full C preprocessing transforms the file into a C++ translation unit as seen by the compiler.
