LLVM for Grad Students (2015)

I wish there were programs to help open source developers, who are already working on compilers, to get their work published and get credit for their effort.<p>Why should a person who pays a university to give them a project to do get a degree and recognition and someone who just likes compilers be left with some thumbs up on a mail list?

Great stuff! I&#x27;ve gotten pretty familiar with the way LLVM looks since Julia&#x27;s `@code_llvm` in front of any function spits out the IR, which is something that can be useful to learn what&#x27;s going on and debug performance. I agree that it&#x27;s readily human readible. I hope to see a direct interface for adding passes to Julia in the near future.

This is really cool, I had no idea it was this straightforward to manipulate LLVM internals. Definitely a side project to explore.

Probably worth adding (2015) to the title.
