Regarding interoperability with Slang-IR

[monowaranjum]

Hi, I am a compiler enthusiast. Reading the design docs, My understanding of the slang compilation process is as follows: Source File -> Lex+ Preprocess+ Parse -> AST -> Lower To IR -> Optimize and Legalize -> Emit GLSL/HLSL -> invoke native compiler toolchain for emitting spirv or other formats.

My question is , is any library provided to interact with the slangIR ? For instance, something like slangIRBuilder or slangIRWriter which you can link against and produce slangIR ? My primary interest in this is due to be able to convert between llvm-IR and slang-IR and vice-versa. Does this functionality exist ? If not, is it possible to consider this option in future development?

Thanks in advance.

Currently there isn't functionality like what is described here.

Currently IR stage can be dumped with a command line argument -dump-ir.
It is mostly for a debugging purpose not for store and load.
