llvm/include/llvm-c/Core.h
Gordon Henriksen 8b94a14a78 C bindings for libLLVMCore.a and libLLVMBitWriter.a.
- The naming prefix is LLVM.
- All types are represented using opaque references.
- Functions are not named LLVM{Type}{Method}; the names became
  unreadable goop. Instead, they are named LLVM{ImperativeSentence}.
- Where an attribute only appears once in the class hierarchy (e.g.,
  linkage only applies to values; parameter types only apply to
  function types), the class is omitted from identifiers for
  brevity. Tastes like methods.
- Strings are C strings or string/length tuples on a case-by-case
  basis.
- APIs which give the caller ownership of an object are not mapped
  (removeFromParent, certain constructor overloads). This keeps
  keep memory management as simple as possible.

For each library with bindings:

  llvm-c/<LIB>.h       - Declares the bindings.
  lib/<LIB>/<LIB>.cpp  - Implements the bindings.

So just link with the library of your choice and use the C header
instead of the C++ one.

|*===----------------------------------------------------------------------===*|
|* *|
|* This header declares the C interface to libLLVMCore.a, which implements *|
|* the LLVM intermediate representation. *|
|* *|
|* LLVM uses a polymorphic type hierarchy which C cannot represent, therefore *|
|* parameters must be passed as base types. Despite the declared types, most *|
|* of the functions provided operate only on branches of the type hierarchy. *|
|* The declared parameter names are descriptive and specify which type is *|
|* required. Additionally, each type hierarchy is documented along with the *|
|* functions that operate upon it. For more detail, refer to LLVM's C++ code. *|
|* If in doubt, refer to Core.cpp, which performs paramter downcasts in the *|
|* form unwrap<RequiredType>(Param). *|
|* *|
|* Many exotic languages can interoperate with C code but have a harder time *|
|* with C++ due to name mangling. So in addition to C, this interface enables *|
|* tools written in such languages. *|
