TPDE: A Fast Adaptable Compiler Back-End Framework

[Palli]

It might be easier to use this TPDE-LLVM (for LLVM compatibility), or as I suggest, bypass LLVM (like Zig is doing; there no longer default):

Would it be possible to write LLVM in Julia?

yes, but I believe better to bypass LLVM (for non-default Julia [mode]) as Zig did: Debug compilation is 5 times faster with Zig’s x86 Backend selected by default Using the self-hosted x86 backend also means you are not subject to the effects of upstream LLVM bugs, of which we are currently tracking over 60. In fact, the self-hosted x86 backend already passes a larger subset of our “behavior test suite” than the LLVM backend does (1984/2008 vs 1977/2008). In other words, this backend pro…
