IR Grammar incomplete. Have you considered https://github.com/llir

The problem with LLVM IR is that it is only defined by code, hence you need to reconstruct the grammar :-/

But other people have tried before. I was wondering if you are aware of https://github.com/llir/grammar/blob/master/ll.tm

They claim here: https://github.com/llir/llvm/blob/8a20cc8910c5223df2a22cbf0a50beb391a08131/HISTORY.md
that it is complete for LLVM 8.

It is not directly compatible with jay, but it is an EBNF. Perhaps it can be of use to you while developing Iril?

Thanks for the pointer!

There's not much benefit to parsing things that I cannot compile so I'm happy with my incremental grammar.

It will certainly make a good reference though, thanks again!
