This crate contains a compiler implementation based on [the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure][LLVM].

## Usage

```rust
use wasmer::{Store, JIT};
use wasmer_compiler_llvm::LLVM;

let compiler = LLVM::new();
// Put it into an engine and add it to the store
let store = Store::new(&JIT::new(compiler).engine());
```

*Note: you can find a [full working example using LLVM compiler here][example].*

## When to use LLVM

We recommend using LLVM as the default compiler when running WebAssembly
files on any **production** system, as it offers maximum peformance near
to native speeds.

## Requirements

The LLVM compiler requires a valid installation of LLVM in your system.
It currently requires **LLVM 10**.


You can install LLVM easily on your Debian-like system via this command:

```bash
bash -c "$(wget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh)"
```

Or in macOS:

```bash
brew install llvm
```

Or via any of the [pre-built binaries that LLVM offers][llvm-pre-built].
