Thanks for reply, Tanya. Frankly speaking, I have no good idea. While googling, I could find the term, "real backend", in the articles so wondered how this was different from just backend used in LLVM. (E.g., Mr.Olofson mentioned "glSDL/backend (the "real" backend version; not yet in mainstream SDL releases)" in this article http://www.freelists.org/archives/gameprogrammer/04-2005/msg00010.html ) Do you have any idea?

I really have no idea. A backend is a backend if it meets the definition. I don't think there is anyway for one to be real and one to be fake ;) -Tanya> > Thank you so much. > SJL > > ---- Original message ---- >> Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:17:37 -0700 (PDT) >> From: "Tanya M.
