"""
    OpenGEODE - A tiny SDL Editor for TASTE

    This module generates LLVM IR code from SDL process models, allowing
    generation of a binary application without an intermediate language.
    LLVM also allows for various code verification, analysis, and optimization.

    The design is based on the Ada code generator. Check it for details.
