Weekly check-in #2

What did I do this week?
The first few days, I tried to compile simple programs to understand how the LLVM module is generated and after a Google Meet with Guilherme Leobas, some things became clearer and I could finally do this without any further problems.
I submitted a PR adding some new build information on TACO`s README.md to help new users and realized that many pieces of LLVM IR are not being generated yet by TACO's LLVM Backend, so I opened an issue on GitHub with the details of this problem and already started to work to fix it. The first part of these problems seems to be related to the target machine since the "Target Triple" and the "Target DataLayout" are missing. Although these problems seems more difficult than I thought, I hope to fix them soon.
What is coming up?
This second week, I'll try to complete the LLVM IR's missing parts, review the code generated by "for" and "while" and fix any possible errors on their implementations.
Did I get stuck anywhere?
Yes! At first, I got stuck in compile simple programs and generated their LLVM IR. Then I got stuck in fixing the missing parts of LLVM that I discussed above.
