Essential LLVM Code Architecture: A Comprehensive Guide to Compiler Backend Engineering with Theory and Practice
Unlock the compiler’s secrets before your competitors even see the door.
LLVM powers everything from iPhone builds to Google’s production servers, yet fewer than one engineer in a thousand can navigate its backend. Essential LLVM Code Architecture turns that scarcity into your advantage, revealing how to craft optimization passes, command GlobalISel, and assemble bullet-proof pipelines in record time. Author EthaN Kessler distills two decades of hands-on compiler innovation into crystal-clear chapters, each capped with a “Launch-Pad” lab that compiles on the first run—so every concept earns an immediate win. Those rapid wins snowball into unstoppable momentum; study becomes habit, and habit becomes mastery.
First-run print inventory is strictly limited and the digital price rises after launch, rewarding decisive engineers who seize their edge today. Early adopters already report double-digit compile-time gains and résumé-level credibility within weeks of deploying these techniques. Each lab maps to a live LLVM issue, so your practice translates directly into contributions the community can see—recruiters notice. With thousands of open roles explicitly demanding LLVM backend expertise, this book places you on the shortest of short lists.
Move from tool user to tool maker, and turn the industry’s talent gap into your personal unfair advantage.
