kandi X-RAY | ChakraCore Summary
ChakraCore is the core part of Chakra, the high-performance JavaScript engine that powers Windows applications written in HTML/CSS/JS and used to power Microsoft Edge. ChakraCore supports Just-in-time (JIT) compilation of JavaScript for x86/x64/ARM, garbage collection, and a wide range of the latest JavaScript features. ChakraCore also supports the JavaScript Runtime (JSRT) APIs, which allows you to easily embed ChakraCore in your applications.

QUESTION
I'm starting new research in the field of compiler optimization. As a start, I'm looking into several different papers related and encountered a few different optimization techniques.
One main thing I'm currently looking at is the compilers' technique that converting input source code into a graph (e.g. control-flow, data-flow, linked list, etc.), then performs optimization onto the graph and produces the machine code. Code-to-Graph-to-Code. For example, JIT compilers in the JavaScript engines, i.e. V8, ChakraCore, etc.
Then, I came across LLVM IR. Because of the earlier searches, my impression of optimization on code is doing on a graph like explained above. However, I do not believe that is the case for LLVM, but I'm not sure. I found that there are tools to generate a control-flow graph from the LLVM IR, but it doesn't mean it's optimizing the graph.
So, my question is "Is LLVM IR a graph?" If not, how does it optimize the code? Code-to-Code directly?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Sep-05 at 08:41LLVM IR (and it's backend form, Machine IR) is a traditional three-address code IR so technically is not a graph IR in the sense e.g. sea-of-nodes IR is. But it contains several graph structures in it: a graph of basic blocks (Control Flow Graph) and a graph of data dependencies (SSA def-use chains) which are used to simplify optimizations. In addition, during instruction selection phase in backend original LLVM IR is temporarily converted to a true graph IR - SelectionDAG.
