Initialization and finalization¶
You only need to call these functions once per process invocation.
- llvmlite.binding.initialize()¶
Initialize the LLVM core.
- llvmlite.binding.initialize_all_asmprinters()¶
Initialize all code generators. Must be called before generating any assembly or machine code via the
TargetMachine.emit_object()
andTargetMachine.emit_assembly()
methods.
- llvmlite.binding.initialize_native_target()¶
Initialize the native—host—target. Must be called once before doing any code generation.
- llvmlite.binding.initialize_native_asmprinter()¶
Initialize the native assembly printer.
- llvmlite.binding.initialize_native_asmparser()¶
Initialize the native assembly parser. Must be called for inline assembly to work.
- llvmlite.binding.shutdown()¶
Shut down the LLVM core.
- llvmlite.binding.llvm_version_info¶
A 3-integer tuple representing the LLVM version number.
EXAMPLE:
(3, 7, 1)
Since LLVM is statically linked into the
llvmlite
DLL, this is guaranteed to represent the true LLVM version in use.
