Hi. What do you mean by SSA, Basic Blocks and CFG? Can I ask for links to go through it before watching this particular video? Thank yoU!

Yeah the title is a little misleading. You need a little bit of background in compilers & llvm to make sense of this video. e.g. what is a basic block, what is instruction selection, what are phi nodes, what is SSA (static single assignment) form, etc. I'll also add that the first speaker wasn't quite as clear as the second, so that doesn't help.

He’s kind of jumping around a lot isn’t he

The shared link should be: llvm.org/devmtg/2019-10/ but there is no slide for this video

"assembly" do you mean "LLVM IR"?

@@Thornik2012 at this point don’t remember what I meant but I think that there is no way to bypass IR. Suppose I want to add a hardware specific code e.g. boot sector code, I cannot bypass using any escape mechanism to include a hard coded assembly code

@@analyticshub499 No, for this task barely you need LLVM at all - boot sector usually written in a completely ASM, because of size restrictions.

He doesn't even say what we are talking about and what are we trying to achieve by talking about this.. And the rest of it sounds like Chinese with an American accent.
