llvm dev - Jul 2014 - [LLVMdev] C API changed due to ARM64 backend renaming

Hi @ll,

currently we have a few defines in Target.h such as "#define
LLVM_TARGET(TargetName) void LLVMInitialize##TargetName##Target(void);” that
creates the list of initialization functions for all configured targets.

Because we renamed the the ARM64 backend to AArch64 we are no longer generating
and exporting the old ARM64 initialization functions and existing clients won’t
be able to link against the new library.

Could we add an alias init function for ARM64, which just calls the AArch64 init
function, to not break existing clients?

Cheers,
Juergen
