		jevinskie on May 30, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Design of LLVM Can anyone provide experience or pointers in writing a LLVM backend? I tinkered with making an AVR backend but LLVM was rather new and had little examples to go by at the time. I would like to give it another shot!

There's some excellent official documentation on backend writing (http://llvm.org/docs/subsystems.html and http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.html). From my previous experience, it isn't as straightforward as in the docs, but you can use the other backends as reference.
