README

ullvm_c
=======

This is a project to wrap LLVM C API using a Pycopy's
[ffi](https://pycopy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/library/ffi.html) module,
thus producing pure-Python bindings to a sufficiently large subset of LLVM
functionality. [Pycopy](https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy) is a minimalist
implementation of the Python language. Pycopy's `ffi` module was also
[ported to CPython](https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy-lib/tree/master/cpython-ffi),
so `ullvm_c` is compatible with CPython too (or any other Python
implementation which provides `ctypes` module).

Two examples are included, JIT-generating a simple function, using both
older MCJIT, and newer ORC LLVM JIT engines:

```
pycopy example_mcjit.py
pycopy example_orcjit.py
```

Using with CPython
------------------

To using with CPython, you would need to install Pycopy compatibility
modules for CPython:

```
pip3 install -r requirements-cpython.txt
```

Afterwards, you can run the samples in the same way as with Pycopy:

```
python3 example_mcjit.py
python3 example_orcjit.py
```
