Haskell LLVM bindings

This package provides Haskell bindings for the popular LLVM compiler infrastructure project. If you don't know what LLVM is, the main LLVM home page is here:

http://llvm.org/

Configuration

By default, when you run "runghc Setup configure", the Haskell bindings will be configured to install to /usr/local. The configure script will look for your LLVM installation in that same directory.

If you have LLVM installed in a different location, e.g. /usr, you can tell the configure script where to find it as follows:

runghc Setup configure --configure-option=--with-llvm-prefix=/usr

Package status - what to expect

This package is still under development.

The high level bindings are currently incomplete, so there are some limits on what you can do. Adding new functions is generally easy, though, so don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.

The high level interface is mostly safe, but the type system cannot protect against everything that can go wrong, so take care. And, of course, there's no way to guarantee anything about the generated code.
