Hi,

I've written some Deimos interface for LLVM. https://github.com/jkm/deimos-llvm/commits/master

I'd like to get some feedback on those.
Firstly to finish these and secondly to finish some guidelines that I'd
like to propose to be published on dlang.org.

Very interesting. I'd be interested in making some D Native feeling bindings, because the LLVM C bindings are A, inconsistent, and B, complete shit. So this is interesting.

Building a better wrapper on top of these would be nice. Can you give examples for A and B?

I tried with my port of the Kaleidoscope, apart from some comestic changes, it worked like a charm ! (Using LLVM 3.0)

Here's the diff:

Thanks.
To be honest I took your main.d to verify that it works. But I'm unsure
what kind of examples to add to make sure it works. Just want something
simple but complete.

The verbs used change from function to function.
I can't remember any off the top of my head, but I run into bunch when
using it for SDC.

As to B, they're incomplete, undocumented, and awkward to use.

No reflection on your fine work, of course. :)

I see. Maybe they will improve.

Yeah. I just translated those header files. I haven't written them.

Are the bindings for 3.0 or 3.1?
I'm asking because at least some enum members have changed (don't exactly remember which).

Looks like 3.1     https://github.com/jkm/deimos-llvm
