llvmruby is fun
I recently wrote an extension for Ruby which allows to use the LLVM compiler infrastructure from inside the Ruby interpreter. While still in development, it already supports enough of the LLVM API to write interesting programs. I have gotten the library to the point that it is able to interact in interesting ways with the native internals of the interpreter, meaning that it is possible to create the equivalent of C Ruby extensions from within Ruby itself and just-in-time (JIT) compile them.
I think you will agree that generating abstract assembler with Ruby is much more fun than generating it from C++.
The project now lives on git hub: http://github.com/tombagby/llvmruby
I have developed/used it only on my home computer, which is 64bit Linux machine. I imagine that it errors hilariously on 32bit machines. It does, however, have nice extconf and should build in a nice/standard way. I am very interested to hear of your build problems with it on different platforms such that I can fix it!
Share and enjoy.
