asllvm

A JIT compiler for AngelScript using LLVM and OrcV2.

asllvm is not production-ready and many features are not supported yet.

Note that it is not possible to partially JIT scripts so your application has to be fully supported to work with asllvm.

Goals

• Improving performance as much as possible.
• Complete AngelScript support.
• Symbol information for profiling tools and source-level debugging (implemented for gdb and perf already).

Requirements

You will need:

• A C++17 compliant compiler.
• A recent LLVM version (tested on LLVM9).

Extra dependencies ({fmt} and Catch2) will be fetched automatically using hunter.

Usage

There is currently no simple usage example, but you can check tests/common.cpp to get an idea.

You have to register the JIT as usual. In its current state (this should be changed later on), you need to call JitInterface::BuildModules before any script call.
