ullvm_c

This is a project to wrap LLVM C API using a Pycopy's ffi module, thus producing pure-Python bindings to a sufficiently large subset of LLVM functionality. Pycopy is a minimalist implementation of the Python language. Pycopy's ffi module was also ported to CPython, so ullvm_c is compatible with CPython too (or any other Python implementation which provides ctypes module).

Two examples are included, JIT-generating a simple function, using both older MCJIT, and newer ORC LLVM JIT engines:

pycopy example_mcjit.py
pycopy example_orcjit.py

Using with CPython

To using with CPython, you would need to install Pycopy compatibility modules for CPython:

pip3 install -r requirements-cpython.txt

Afterwards, you can run the samples in the same way as with Pycopy:

python3 example_mcjit.py
python3 example_orcjit.py
