We need to throw an exception if null deref is done. If we continued to do that generating IR it would be too difficult to get the exception semantics and cleanups right. Thus we decided to do it on AST level and delegate to codegen generate the concrete IR that we need.

1.1 Dependencies
CLING source depends on the LLVM [1] and CLANG [2] headers and libraries.
You will also need CMake [3] >= 2.6.1 or GNU Make to build all of those
packages and subversion [4] to get the source code.
[1] http://llvm.org
[2] http://clang.llvm.org
[3] http://cmake.org
[4] http://subversion.tigris.org/
1.2 Building
To build LLVM and CLANG you must:
* Check out the sources:
mkdir src
cd src
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
cd llvm/tools
svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang
svn co http://root.cern.ch/svn/root/trunk/interpreter/cling cling
cd ..
* Apply some patches
cat tools/cling/patches/* | patch -p0
* Configure, build and install them, either using CMake:
cd ..
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/install/dir \
-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=CBackend\;CppBackend\;X86 \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=`which c++` \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=`which gcc` \
../llvm
make
make install
or GNU Make (see ../src/configure --help for all options):
cd ..
mkdir build
cd build
../llvm/configure --prefix=/some/install/dir
make
make install
2. U S A G E
To interpret a C file type: "./cling test.c". To invoke cling in the
interactive mode type "cling" without file name. Use ".L filename" to
load libraries or C++ files. Type C++ code at the prompt to interpret it.
