Hello, Sorry for bothering you. I'm a LLVM beginner. I found your project lcool in github which is really cool and I want to learn llvm by reading your code. But I have a problem when I build lcool. My llvm version is LLVM_3.50svn

When I run "cmake ..", It generates an error: Could NOT find LLVM (missing: LLVM_LIBRARIES). I found the code you write in FindLLVM.cmake:

find_library(
LLVM_LIBRARIES
"LLVM-${LLVM_VERSION}"
PATHS "${LLVM_LIBRARY_DIRS}")

I have no library named "LLVM-3.50svn" in /usr/local/lib(LLVM_LIBRARY_DIRS), so i changed "LLVM-${LLVM_VERSION}" to NAMES "LLVMCore" "LLVMSupport", then it can generate makefile, but when i run make, It will still generate link error, such as "undefined reference to `llvm::Module::getTypeByName(llvm::StringRef) const'".

So how should I modify the FindLLVM.cmake in order to build the lcool successfully?

Thanks.

LCool should have a test suite with lots of cool programs which can be fed into the compiler. This also serves as examples for cool programs since there aren't too many about.

Build only tests

• Lexer: comments (single and multi line)
• Lexer: identifiers
• Lexer: strings (inc escape codes)
• Lexer: unexpected EOF (in comments, strings, etc)
• Parser: multiple input files
• Parser: functions, attributes
• Parser: integers (inc overflow)
• Parser: strings (inc escape codes)
• Layout: classes and inheritance (varying orders, circular inheritance, final classes, redefinition)
• Layout: prohibit attribute redefinition, attributes are effectively "protected" (not private)
• Layout: methods (valid types, redefinitions, overrides)
• CodeGen: Main method
• CodeGen: type conversions and assignments
• CodeGen: valid types to operators
• CodeGen: dispatch

Semantic tests

• Basic hello world
• Numeric expressions (+ - * / < <= >)
• Division by zero
• Let expressions
• Loop expressions
• Conditional expressions
• Class inheritance, dispatch, overrides
• Invalid downcasts.
• Void pointers
• Pointer comparisons
• Object class methods
• IO class methods
• String class methods
• Int / Bool boxing
• SELF_TYPE
• Valgrind (or equivalent) for refcount testing

Currently the ref-counting isn't quite right. This should be resolved to prevent (or at least reduce) memory leaks. This will probably be done after the test suite so I have some programs to test this against.
