Hello,
> 1. Can LLVM be used in a dynamic binary translator? Dynamic translator
translators target
code for an architecture (say PPC) to host code (say x86) and execute it.
Yes, see llvm-qemu project (2007 GSoC).
> 2. Can LLVM understand disassembled target code and generate optimized host
code?
No, it's not a job of LLVM. You have to convert binary code for your
platform into LLVM IR by
yourself.
> 4. How complex the task would be? (any idea!!)
It depends, how complex and insane your source platform, how you will use
produced code,
etc. In any way, I don't see generic way to do so 'statically', only
via execution (think about
indirect/computed jumps, for example).
