Add #code_native #code_llvm and #code_typed #193

Borrowing from Julia here. These are pretty cool macros to get the assembly, LLVM bytecode or AST.

We could introduce them as cell magics.

Would just be necessary to find a way to extract that info in a readable way from cling.

👍 , especially for LLVM bytecode that can be nicely rendered.

wolfv commented 5 years ago

do you have any idea if the cling guys have tools for this already? Or who to ask?

SylvainCorlay commented 5 years ago

I don't think so. We have the ClingValue for the last returned value handy, but not the whole cell byte code.

wolfv commented 5 years ago

We've got an "official" endorsement from Axel on the cling forums for that: https://root-forum.cern.ch/t/get-assembly-llvm-bytecode-or-clang-ast-output/30800

I've started an exploratory commit here: https://github.com/root-project/cling/pull/262

Hoping to get some feedback from the cling folks.
