llgo is a Go frontend for LLVM, written in Go.
llgo is under active development, but is still considered experimental. It is not presently useful for real work. Progress will be reported at http://blog.awilkins.id.au.
To install llgo, use make:
go get github.com/go-llvm/llgo
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/go-llvm/llgo
make install prefix=/path/to/prefix
You may need to build LLVM. See GoLLVM's README.md for more information.
llgo requires Go 1.3, or Go 1.2 with a bug fix applied. See also README.patches for a list of additional patches to apply.
We install two binaries to $prefix/bin: llgo and llgo-go.
llgo is the compiler binary. It has a command line interface that is intended to be compatible to a large extent with gccgo.
llgo-go is a command line wrapper for go. It works like the regular go command except that it uses llgo to build.
