Library for generating/parsing/optimizing Koopa IR.

Koopa IR is the next generation of education-oriented intermediate representation designed for compiler courses at Peking University.

## Usage

```toml
[dependencies]
koopa = "0.0.3"
```

## Koopa IR

Here is a "Hello, world!" program in Koopa IR:

```koopa
// `putchar` function in libc.
decl @putchar(i32): i32

// A helper function for printing strings (integer arrays).
fun @putstr(@arr: *i32) {
%entry:
  jump %loop_entry(@arr)

%loop_entry(%ptr: *i32):
  %cur = load %ptr
  br %cur, %loop_body, %end

%loop_body:
  call @putchar(%cur)
  %next = getptr %ptr, 1
  jump %loop_entry(%next)

%end:
  ret
}

// String "Hello, world!\n\0".
global @str = alloc [i32, 15], {
  72, 101, 108, 108, 111, 44, 32, 119, 111, 114, 108, 100, 33, 10, 0
}

// `main` function, the entry point of the program.
fun @main(): i32 {
%entry:
  %str = getelemptr @str, 0
  call @putstr(%str)
  ret 0
}
```

Koopa IR is a strongly-typed, SSA form based intermediate representation. It's simple but powerful enough to support compilation of code into machine instructions, or some advanced optimizations of it.

For more details, see [the document of Koopa IR](https://github.com/pku-minic/next-gen-ir-proposal/blob/master/ir/llvm-like/README.md) (Chinese).

## Examples

See the [`examples` directory](examples), which contains three examples:

* [`opt`](examples/opt): a simple Koopa IR optimizer.
* [`brainfuck`](examples/brainfuck): a brainfuck to Koopa IR compiler.
* [`interpreter`](examples/interpreter): a simple Koopa IR interpreter.

## References

Koopa IR library is heavily influenced by [LLVM](https://llvm.org/) and [Cranelift](https://wasmtime.dev/).
