Module documentation for 4.2.0

llvm-hs is a set of Haskell bindings for LLVM http://llvm.org/. Unlike other current Haskell bindings, it uses an ADT to represent LLVM IR (http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html), and so offers two advantages: it handles almost all of the stateful complexities of using the LLVM API to build IR; and it supports moving IR not only from Haskell into LLVM C++ objects, but the other direction - from LLVM C++ into Haskell.

Changes

4.2.0 (2017-06-20)

  • Revamp OrcJIT API
    • The user facing API is now exposed using LLVM.OrcJIT.
    • All user facing functions have been documented.
    • In addition the bracket-style API, there are now new* and dispose* functions making it easier to ingegrate OrcJIT in custom monad transformer stacks.
    • There is a new CompileLayer typeclass which abstracts over the various compile layers in OrcJIT.
  • Support QuickCheck 2.10

4.1.0 (2017-05-17)

  • Switch most of the API from String to ByteString.
  • Switch from ExceptT to using exceptions. See LLVM.Exception for an overview of the exceptions potentially thrown.

4.0.1

  • Fix linking of system libraries

4.0.0 (initial release, changes in comparison to llvm-general)

  • Move modules from LLVM.General* to LLVM.*
  • Support for LLVM 4.0
  • Improved support for LLVM’s exception handling instructions
  • -fshared-llvm is now supported on windows (thanks to @RyanGLScott)
  • Default to -fshared-llvm
  • Expose LLVM.Internal.* modules.
