Functions

func Compile

func Compile(pkgName string, machine llvm.TargetMachine, config *compileopts.Config) (llvm.Module, []string, []error)

Compile the given package path or .go file path. Return an error when this fails (in any stage). If successful it returns the LLVM module and a list of extra C files to be compiled. If not, one or more errors will be returned.

The fact that it returns a list of filenames to compile is a layering violation. Eventually, this Compile function should only compile a single package and not the whole program, and loading of the program (including CGo processing) should be moved outside the compiler package.

func NewTargetMachine

func NewTargetMachine(config *compileopts.Config) (llvm.TargetMachine, error)

NewTargetMachine returns a new llvm.TargetMachine based on the passed-in configuration. It is used by the compiler and is needed for machine code emission.
