4.1. Initialization and finalization¶
These functions need only be called once per process invocation.
-
llvmlite.binding.initialize()¶ Initialize the LLVM core.
-
llvmlite.binding.initialize_all_targets()¶ Initialize all targets. Necessary before targets can be looked up via the
Targetclass.
-
llvmlite.binding.initialize_all_asmprinters()¶ Initialize all code generators. Necessary 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. Calling this function once is necessary 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. This is necessary for inline assembly to work.
-
llvmlite.binding.shutdown()¶ Shutdown the LLVM core.
-
llvmlite.binding.llvm_version_info¶ A three-integer tuple representing the LLVM version number, for example
(3, 7, 1). Since LLVM is statically linked into thellvmliteDLL, this is guaranteed to represent the true LLVM version in use.
