Most of LLVMC functionality is -implemented via high-level TableGen code, from which a corresponding C++ source -file is automatically generated.

The <tt class="docutils literal">llvmc</tt> program itself is generated -using a similar process (see <tt class="docutils literal">llvmc/src</tt>).

The compilation graph is basically a list of -edges; a special node named <tt class="docutils literal">root</tt> is used to mark graph entry points.</p> -<p>Tool descriptions are represented as property lists: most properties in the -example above should be self-explanatory; the <tt class="docutils literal">sink</tt> property means that all -options lacking an explicit description should be forwarded to this tool.</p> -<p>The <tt class="docutils literal">LanguageMap</tt> associates a language name with a list of suffixes and is -used for deciding which toolchain corresponds to a given input file.</p> -<p>To learn more about writing your own drivers with LLVMC, refer to the reference -manual and examples in the <tt class="docutils literal">examples</tt> directory.
