Parsing standard compiler command line arguments using the Driver library. + + 2. Constructing a Clang compiler instance, using the appropriate arguments + derived in step #1. + + 3. Invoking the Clang compiler to lex, parse, syntax check, and then generate + LLVM code. + + 4. Use the LLVM JIT functionality to execute the final module. + +The implementation has many limitations and is not designed to be a full fledged +C interpreter. It is designed to demonstrate a simple but functional use of the +Clang compiler libraries. |
