LLVMSharp
LLVMSharp is a multi-platform .NET Standard library for accessing the LLVM infrastructure. The bindings are auto-generated using ClangSharp parsing LLVM-C header files.
A nuget package for the project is provided here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/llvmsharp.
A convenience package which provides the native libLLVM library for several platforms is provided here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/libLLVM
Nightly packages are available via the NuGet Feed URL: https://pkgs.clangsharp.dev/index.json
Source browsing is available via: https://source.clangsharp.dev/

Features
- Auto-generated using LLVM C headers files, and supports all functionality exposed by them (more than enough to build a full compiler)
- Type safe (LLVMValueRef and LLVMTypeRef are different types, despite being pointers internally)
- Nearly identical to LLVM C APIs, e.g. LLVMModuleCreateWithName in C, vs. LLVM.ModuleCreateWithName (notice the . in the C# API)
Building LLVMSharp
On Linux using .NET Core:
$ git clone http://github.com/dotnet/llvmsharp
$ cd LLVMSharp
$ dotnet build
On Windows using .NET Core
Note: - you need to run these commands from the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt.
:> git clone http://github.com/dotnet/LLVMSharp
:> cd LLVMSharp
:> dotnet build
