===============================
Initialization and finalization
===============================
.. currentmodule:: llvmlite.binding
You only need to call these functions once per process invocation.
* .. function:: initialize()
Initialize the LLVM core.
* .. function:: initialize_all_targets()
Initialize all targets. Must be called before targets can
be looked up via the :class:`Target` class.
* .. function:: initialize_all_asmprinters()
Initialize all code generators. Must be called before
generating any assembly or machine code via the
:meth:`TargetMachine.emit_object` and
:meth:`TargetMachine.emit_assembly` methods.
* .. function:: initialize_native_target()
Initialize the native---host---target. Must be called once
before doing any code generation.
* .. function:: initialize_native_asmprinter()
Initialize the native assembly printer.
* .. function:: initialize_native_asmparser()
Initialize the native assembly parser. Must be called for
inline assembly to work.
* .. function:: shutdown()
Shut down the LLVM core.
* .. data:: llvm_version_info
A 3-integer tuple representing the LLVM version number.
EXAMPLE: ``(3, 7, 1)``
Since LLVM is statically linked into the ``llvmlite`` DLL,
this is guaranteed to represent the true LLVM version in use.
