Description
Key FeaturesBook DescriptionIn today's fast-paced world of change, companies expect you to do more, with less. Drawing on over a decade of Change Management experience as a consultant with Fortune 500 companies including IBM and NCR, Emily Carr shares the secrets to making change happen smoothly.What you will learn - Configure, build, and install extra LLVM open source projects including Clang tools, static analyzer, CompilerRT, LLDB, DragonEgg, libc++, and LLVM testsuite
- Understand the LLVM library design and interaction between libraries and standalone tools
- Increase your knowledge of source code processing stages by learning how the Clang frontend uses a lexer, parser, and syntax analysis
- Manipulate, generate, and play with LLVM IR files while writing custom IR analyses and transformation passes
- Write tools to use LLVM JustinTime (JIT) compilation capabilities
- Find bugs and improve your code by using the static analyzer
- Design source code analysis and transformation tools using LibClang, LibTooling, and the Clang plugin interface

Lopes Bruno :
Bruno Lopes received a PhD in Computer Science from University of Campinas, Brazil. He's been an LLVM contributor since 2007 and implemented the MIPS backend from scratch, which he has been maintaining for several years. Among his other contributions, he has written the x86 AVX support and improved the ARM assembler. His research interests include code compression techniques and reduced bit width ISAs. In the past, he has also developed drivers for Linux and FreeBSD operating systems.Auler Rafael :
Rafael Auler is a PhD candidate at University of Campinas, Brazil. He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from the same university. For his Master's work, he wrote a proof-of-concept tool that automatically generates LLVM backends based on architecture description files. Currently, his PhD research topics include dynamic binary translation, Just-in-Time compilers, and computer architecture. Rafael was also a recipient of the Microsoft Research 2013 Graduate Research Fellowship Award.
