Tagua VM is an experimental [PHP](http://php.net/) Virtual Machine written with
[the Rust language](https://www.rust-lang.org/) and [the LLVM Compiler
Infrastructure](http://llvm.org/).

The Virtual Machine is composed of several libraries. This library,
`tagua/llvm` defines safe bindings to LLVM designed for Tagua
VM. The API does not aim at being a generic safe bindings
implementation. One might not feel lost if already familiar with LLVM
infrastructure. The basis of the infrastructure is the context and the
module, functions are declared inside a module and the execution
engine is MCJIT
(see [MCJIT Design and Implementation](http://llvm.org/docs/MCJITDesignAndImplementation.html)).

## Installing

To install `tagua/llvm`, you must have Rust (see [the Rust installation
page](https://www.rust-lang.org/downloads.html)) installed.
[Cargo](http://doc.crates.io/guide.html) is the Rust package manager.

To build a release version:

```sh
$ cargo build --release
```

To build a development version:

```sh
$ cargo build
```

## Contributing

Do whatever you want. Just respect the license and the other contributors. Your
favorite tool is going to be:

```sh
$ cargo test
```

to run all the test suites (unit test suites, integration test suites and
documentation test suites).
