A collection of self-contained, out-of-tree LLVM passes that serve as a tutorial for learning LLVM development. It builds against a binary LLVM installation and includes CMake scripts, LIT tests, CI setup, and documentation, updated with every LLVM release.

Use cases

• learn how to write LLVM passes
• tutorial for llvm ir transformations
• example out-of-tree llvm pass with cmake
• get started with llvm plugin development
• reference examples for llvm optimization passes
• learn compiler internals with llvm

When to choose

• you are a novice wanting to learn LLVM pass development step by step
• you want modern, up-to-date examples matching the latest LLVM release
• you need complete, testable reference passes with build scripts and CI

When to avoid

• you need a production compiler framework rather than teaching examples
• you want Clang-level tooling rather than LLVM IR passes
• you need an older LLVM version that the tutorial no longer targets
