2019 LLVM Developers’ Meeting: E. Christopher & J. Doerfert “Introduction to LLVM”

[@ViktorEngelmann]

Second part is a great Introduction for people who are already experts in LLVM.

[@the_dark_knight_9]

I advice people to go through : SSA, Basic Blocks and CFG before watching this video

[@crjacinro]

Hi. What do you mean by SSA, Basic Blocks and CFG? Can I ask for links to go through it before watching this particular video? Thank yoU!

[@RobertKeszeg]

3 years and the slides are coming soon :S

[@EvenStarLoveAnanda]

This is supposed to be an Introduction to LLVM. After 20 minutes I am totally clueless.

[@iAmUzaar]

Yeah the title is a little misleading. You need a little bit of background in compilers & llvm to make sense of this video. e.g. what is a basic block, what is instruction selection, what are phi nodes, what is SSA (static single assignment) form, etc. I'll also add that the first speaker wasn't quite as clear as the second, so that doesn't help.

[@DrEnginerd1]

He’s kind of jumping around a lot isn’t he

[@IamJatin]

Awesome, Please do post more on this.

[@hampus23]

💯

[@qweoiwjewiodc1954]

excellent I would like to work in google and I think this would help me too much to learn how does a compiler work, thank you guys

[@konstantinrebrov675]

Where are the slides?

[@analyticshub499]

Add assembly code attachment possible in llvm

[@Thornik2012]

"assembly" do you mean "LLVM IR"?

[@analyticshub499]

@@Thornik2012 at this point don’t remember what I meant but I think that there is no way to bypass IR. Suppose I want to add a hardware specific code e.g. boot sector code, I cannot bypass using any escape mechanism to include a hard coded assembly code

[@Thornik2012]

@@analyticshub499 No, for this task barely you need LLVM at all - boot sector usually written in a completely ASM, because of size restrictions.

[@ItzBreakfast]

I love this language. Syntax is beatiful!

[@raregear]

Anyone knows where the slide is?

[@raregear]

The shared link should be: llvm.org/devmtg/2019-10/ but there is no slide for this video

[@MrMacccha]

before watching: let me get on top of another technology after watching: quitting CS

[@NoNameAtAll2]

I understood nothing :(

[@EvenStarLoveAnanda]

He doesn't even say what we are talking about and what are we trying to achieve by talking about this.. And the rest of it sounds like Chinese with an American accent.

[@diegonayalazo]

Thanks
