Aya Rustc LLVM Proxy

This is a fork of the rustc-llvm-proxy crate.

Dynamically proxy LLVM calls into Rust own shared library! 🎉

Use cases

Normally there is no much need for the crate, except a couple of exotic cases:

• Your crate is some kind build process helper that leverages LLVM (e.g. bpf-linker),
• Your crate needs to stay up to date with Rust LLVM version (again bpf-linker),
• You would prefer not to have dependencies on host LLVM libs (as always bpf-linker).

Usage

First, you need to make sure no other crate links your binary against system LLVM library. In case you are using llvm-sys, this can be achieved with a special feature:

[dependencies.llvm-sys]
version = "60"
features = ["no-llvm-linking", "disable-alltargets-init"]

Then all you need to do is to include the crate into your project:

[dependencies]
aya-rustc-llvm-proxy = "0.9"

extern crate aya_rustc_llvm_proxy;
