^{just look at this poor defenceless I surrounded by consonants}

This is an experimental Language Server to work with LLVM IR - the .ll files produced by compiler frontends.

Currently it focuses on the metadata section, but the intent is to expand support to everything that the IR supports and makes sense in the context of IDE experience.

Here's a GIF so you know it's solid.

Setup

This part is very editor specific and needs your contributions!

Regardless, it all starts from downloading a server binary from the Releases tab.

Neovim

In Nightly neovim, setting up a custom LSP is trivial:

local lsp = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("LSP", { clear = true })
-- assuming the binary is in /usr/local/bin/LLVM_LanguageServer
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("FileType", {
  group = lsp,
  pattern = "lifelines",
  callback = function()
    vim.lsp.start({
      name = "LLVM LSP",
      cmd = { '/usr/local/bin/LLVM_LanguageServer' },
    })
  end
})

The reason it's so simple is because there already exists a filetype named lifelines associated with .ll files!
