This is a proof-of-concept vim plugin for local Compiler Explorer
functionality, similar to https://compiler-explorer.com/. Press <F6> to open
a new tab which opens the files ce.cpp and ce.asm in the CWD. On top, the
invocations of the C++ compiler and llvm-mca can be configured.
After editing ce.cpp, press <F6> again to update ce.asm. If any
diagnostic output was produced, a QuickFix window opens at the bottom and a new
window on the left jumps to the first error. Now, if you want to analyze the
assembly using llvm-mca, make visual selection in the ce.asm buffer and press
<F6> again. This will open another vertical split showing the output of
llvm-mca for the selected instruction sequence.
At this point, this plugin is a quick solution for supporting my work: Inspect the codegen of certain C++ library calls, while developing the library. If you find this plugin useful but need more features, please contribute your ideas or even better PRs.
