llvm dev - Mar 2006 - [LLVMdev] pool allocation optimization?

Hello!

I am very new to LLVM, and have downloaded, compiled and installed the
compiler suite and read through a lot of documentation with the purpose of
trying out the Pool Allocation optimization. However, I haven't been able
to locate it yet: there is no mention on the website or in any of the
documentation of how I may use this optimization. Reading through the
mailing list archives from a year ago suggest that I should have
projects/llvm-poolalloc. This is, however, missing both from Release 1.6
and the current CVS snapshot.

Is poolalloc deprecated? If not, how can I obtain and use it?

Thanks,
Mahim

It is part of LLVM CVS, but in a separate module.  To get it, use:

$ cd llvm/projects 
$ cvs co llvm-poolalloc

I once maintained this code, but I don't any longer.  If you have specific 
questions about it, I'm sure that others will be happy to answer them!
