SYNOPSIS

use Compiler::Lexer;
use Compiler::Parser;
use Compiler::CodeGenerator::LLVM;

my $filename = $ARGV[0];
open(my $fh, "<", $filename) or die("$filename is not found.");
my $script = do { local $/; <$fh> };
my $lexer = Compiler::Lexer->new($filename);
my $tokens = $lexer->tokenize($script);
my $parser = Compiler::Parser->new();
my $ast = $parser->parse($tokens);
my $generator = Compiler::CodeGenerator::LLVM->new();    
my $llvm_ir = $generator->generate($ast); # generate LLVM-IR
$generator->debug_run($ast); # execute LLVM-IR with JIT

DESCRIPTION

Compiler::CodeGenerator::LLVM creates LLVM IR for perl5.

METHODS

• my $generator = Compiler::CodeGenerator::LLVM->new();

  Create new instance of Compiler::CodeGenerator::LLVM.

• my $llvm_ir = $generator->generate($ast);

  Get scalar value of LLVM IR. This method requires $ast from Compiler::Parser::parse

• $generator->debug_run($ast);

  Execute LLVM-IR with JIT for debugging. This method requires $ast from Compiler::Parser::parse
