Parsing LBVM-bit code with Java

Question

Is there a way to parse LLVM bits in my Java application? In other words, is there any library with a Java binding and can parse LLVM-bit code that I could get using some DOM or any other way?

Note that I am not trying to convert LLVM bitcode to Java bytecode, just trying to parse LLVM bitcode into some workable representation for Java.

Answer 1

Using LLVM C bindings through something like JNI is probably the easiest approach. However, since this question was asked, I managed to find several projects that could help, as well as create one of my own:

• LLVM-J, Java LLVM, , c JNI.
• JLLVM, Java- LLVM Core ANTLR LLVM IR parser.
• LLVM IR SDK, LLVM IR EMF Core (ECore) XText Eclipse.

Answer 2

JNI llvm C.
