We are finally done with the Frontend of Neoluma programming language, so it's time to move on to something more sweeter, juicier: LLVM IR Generation!

Goals for this Pull Request are simple:

  • Make an IRGenerator that correctly turns AST Nodes in LLVM IR
  • Make an Optimizer that calls basic LLVM optimizing functions
  • Make a first iteration of the std library, that adds I/O and FileSystem work.

After the pull request, Neoluma should compile to LLVM IR, which allows us to get closer to executable generation.

Pull request overview

This PR begins wiring LLVM into the Neoluma compilation pipeline by exposing LLVM types from the AST layer and adjusting CMake so Core code can include LLVM headers.

Changes:

  • Add a direct LLVM Value include to the frontend AST header and introduce an ASTNode::generateCode() entrypoint returning llvm::Value*.
  • Update CMake to add LLVM include directories and definitions to the NeolumaCore target.

Reviewed changes

NeolumaCore is a library with public headers under src/ (e.g., Nodes.hpp) that now include LLVM headers. LLVM include dirs/definitions are added as PRIVATE here, which means consumers of NeolumaCore won't automatically get the required LLVM include path/defines if they include those headers. Prefer making the LLVM include dirs/compile defs PUBLIC on NeolumaCore, or (better) avoid including LLVM headers from public Core headers via forward declarations.

Suggested change
target_include_directories(NeolumaCore PRIVATE ${LLVM_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_compile_definitions(NeolumaCore PRIVATE ${LLVM_DEFINITIONS})
target_include_directories(NeolumaCore PUBLIC ${LLVM_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_compile_definitions(NeolumaCore PUBLIC ${LLVM_DEFINITIONS})

PR description/title mention adding an IRGenerator, Optimizer, and a first stdlib iteration (I/O + filesystem), but the repository state only shows placeholder filler files under src/Core/Middleend/{IRGenerator,Optimizer} and no corresponding implementation/types are present. Either the PR description should be updated to reflect the actual scope, or the missing middleend/stdlib changes should be included before merging.
