New feature or request
For the code generation and compilation (LLVM related crates), in the Zom compiler. We could replace it with the C++ library, because it's the official way to use LLVM, there is some issues in this project that is related to LLVM not working : #24, #20, #23, #21. If we replace it with an a C++ package, we could just follow the doc and not wasting its time to found the function in Inkwell, etc ..
Pros
Cons
Solution
N°1
Write a serializer that serialize the result of the type checking (or the end of the compilation pipeline that doesn't need LLVM). And the C++ program will be executed in a child process, with the serialized input, and we deserialize and return the output desired by the compiler.
Solution
N°2
Write a C++ lib that uses LLVM and emit the desired output by the compiler, and his functions is called by the the Zom compiler with the Rust
