A couple of more things I forgot to mention:
- You will need to additionally add bindings for all the LLVMInitialize"TARGET_NAME"{TargetInfo,Target,TargetMC,AsmParser,AsmPrinter,Disassembler} functions. They reside inside the target libraries and not inside llvm-c, which is why only translating the C API won't get you them. The LLVMInitializeNativeTarget function , which is necessary to use LLVM for jitting - otherwise you'll only have access to interpreting, which is horribly slow - uses them, but it is a static inline function and as such does not get exposed because LLVM builds with the option to hide all inline functions. That is not a problem for C, as this function gets defined in the header, but for D it is a big problem, because you cannot access LLVMInitializeNativeTarget. You need to recreate it in D by using all the functions it references. Of course, you'll also have to accomodate the fact that these referenced functions may or may not be compiled in depending on which target where selected when compiling LLVM. I have done so in llvm.c.functions of llvm-d so if you want you could use that as a reference. - When supporting multiple LLVM versions, we need to use the same method. I currently use a version flag, specifically "-version=LLVM_X_Y" for LLVM X.Y release (including the trunk) and set two variables, a string "LLVM_VersionString" (for some C bindings internal stuff) and a float "LLVM_Version" (for static ifs). The relevant module is llvm.c.versions. - It would be nice if deimos-llvm had a module that publically imports all other modules, e.g. "all" or "llvm".
