Overview

Unlock the Full Power of LLVM: Build Efficient, Custom Backends and Take Total Control Over Code Generation Are you ready to move beyond LLVM basics and start mastering what really powers the performance of modern compilers? Mastering LLVM Backend Development takes you deep into the engine room of the LLVM infrastructure-where machine instructions are born, optimized, and tuned for raw efficiency. This hands-on, expert-level guide demystifies how LLVM transforms intermediate representation (IR) into highly optimized machine code. Whether you're designing a custom backend for a new architecture, modifying instruction selection, or optimizing code emission for speed or size, this book gives you the practical insights and real-world examples you need to do it right. Inside, you'll explore: How instruction selection works under the hood and how to customize it Techniques for building and tuning your own backend targets Register allocation, instruction scheduling, and low-level optimizations Real-world examples of backend extensions, custom calling conventions, and embedded system adaptations Tips for debugging and profiling backend performance If you're a compiler developer, systems programmer, or performance-focused engineer working with LLVM, this book is your roadmap to mastering the backend-the part that truly determines how fast your code runs. Don't just use LLVM. Master its core. Build smarter, faster, leaner machine code with complete confidence.
