A Lightweight LLVM Python Binding for Writing JIT Compilers
-----------------------------------------------------------
.. _llvmpy: https://github.com/llvmpy/llvmpy
llvmlite is a project originally tailored for Numba_'s needs, using the
following approach:
* A small C wrapper around the parts of the LLVM C++ API we need that are
not already exposed by the LLVM C API.
* A ctypes Python wrapper around the C API.
* A pure Python implementation of the subset of the LLVM IR builder that we
need for Numba.
Why llvmlite
============
The old llvmpy_ binding exposes a lot of LLVM APIs but the mapping of
C++-style memory management to Python is error prone. Numba_ and many JIT
compilers do not need a full LLVM API. Only the IR builder, optimizer,
and JIT compiler APIs are necessary.
Key Benefits
============
* The IR builder is pure Python code and decoupled from LLVM's
frequently-changing C++ APIs.
* Materializing a LLVM module calls LLVM's IR parser which provides
better error messages than step-by-step IR building through the C++
API (no more segfaults or process aborts).
* Most of llvmlite uses the LLVM C API which is small but very stable
(low maintenance when changing LLVM version).
* The binding is not a Python C-extension, but a plain DLL accessed using
ctypes (no need to wrestle with Python's compiler requirements and C++ 11
compatibility).
* The Python binding layer has sane memory management.
* llvmlite is faster than llvmpy thanks to a much simpler architecture
(the Numba_ test suite is twice faster than it was).
Compatibility
=============
llvmlite has been tested with Python 3.9 -- 3.12 and is likely to work with
greater versions.
As of version 0.41.0, llvmlite requires LLVM 14.x.x on all architectures

Documentation
=============
You'll find the documentation at http://llvmlite.pydata.org
Pre-built binaries
==================
We recommend you use the binaries provided by the Numba_ team for
the Conda_ package manager. You can find them in Numba's `anaconda.org
channel <https://anaconda.org/numba>`_. For example::
$ conda install --channel=numba llvmlite
(or, simply, the official llvmlite package provided in the Anaconda_
distribution)
.. _Numba: http://numba.pydata.org/
.. _Conda: http://conda.pydata.org/
.. _Anaconda: http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/index.html
Other build methods
===================
If you don't want to use our pre-built packages, you can compile
and install llvmlite yourself. The documentation will teach you how:
