llvm dev - Dec 2008 - [LLVMdev] MicroBlaze Backend

I have been working on a LLVM backend for the MicroBlaze
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroBlaze
) soft-processor. At this point the backend is partially functional  
but by no means complete. I was curious as to wether the LLVM  
developers would prefer to merge the backend into the main tree now  
and then accept patches on the backend until it was fully functional  
or if they prefer to wait on merging the MicroBlaze backend until it  
was fully functional.

If interested, you can view source to the MicroBlaze backend here:

Hi Westley,

As long as you are committed to maintaining it, I don't see a problem  
with merging it into the main tree.  I haven't looked at the code, but  
it will need the follow the normal coding standards, have some  
testcases, etc before it goes in.  It does not need to be 100%  
complete though.

Many people are on vacation right now, but the first step is to post  
your patch and get the code reviewed.
