If you're looking for documentation, that's online over here.

Also, look at the sidebar for some random notes on TinyGo.

Reference material for new TinyGo developers

Intro

• LLVM from a Go perspective
• An introduction to LLVM in Go
• GopherAcademy: LLVM IR and Go
• Learning LLVM (pdf)
• http://notes.eatonphil.com/compiler-basics-llvm.html

General

• How a Go Program Compiles down to Machine Code - Good overview how the mainline Go compiler operates

Go SSA

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form - A good intro to SSA in general
• Online Go SSA viewer - Paste Go code in the left pane, shows the Go SSA on the right
• Go SSA documentation

Tip: Generating Go SSA from the command line

Go SSA can be generated from the command line by adding the GOSSAFUNC variable to your environment for go build:

$ GOSSAFUNC=main go build -a src/examples/wasm/main/main.go
# runtime
dumped SSA to /usr/local/go/src/runtime/ssa.html
# command-line-arguments
dumped SSA to src/examples/wasm/main/ssa.html

The ssa.html file can be viewed using a browser:

$ ls -la src/examples/wasm/main/
total 156
drwxrwxr-x. 2 jc jc     72 May  6 18:51 .
drwxrwxr-x. 6 jc jc    125 May  6 18:50 ..
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jc jc   1304 May  6 18:50 index.html
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jc jc     55 May  6 18:50 main.go
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jc jc    254 May  6 18:50 README.md
