Thank you! I have read this article,and there is one dissertion about
this in the attached file.
What I really want to know is that if LLVM is appropriate for a
block-based arch.
If so,LLVM have already gained the ability to produce hyperblock or I
need to write codes to let LLVM produce hyperblock?

The extent to which you would be able to reuse LLVM optimizations after converting to your hyperblock IR (if at all) would depend on the restrictions you place on the type of hyperblocks that can be formed. Anything beyond single-entry, single exit regions would probably be too difficult to cleanly represent. The existing LLVM optimizations that take advantage of control flow information would be effectively disabled after converting to hyperblocks. -Andy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[1]'s approach is LLVM IR -> htberblock IR.
