  • llvm-pretty-bc-parser

    Parser for the llvm bitcode format

  • It's actually interesting how many independent implementations of bitcode writers there, given that there are almost no independent bitcode readers (mine is very preliminary, and then there's one from Galois[1]).

    I believe Swift also does their own serialization in LLVM's bitstream format[2]. I also saw an implementation of the writer in Swift, but now I've lost it.
