Tagua LLVM

Tagua VM is an experimental PHP Virtual Machine written with the Rust language and the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure.

The Virtual Machine is composed of several libraries. This library, tagua/llvm defines safe bindings to LLVM designed for Tagua VM. The API does not aim at being a generic safe bindings implementation. One might not feel lost if already familiar with LLVM infrastructure. The basis of the infrastructure is the context and the module, functions are declared inside a module and the execution engine is MCJIT (see MCJIT Design and Implementation).
