llvm dev - Sep 2008 - [LLVMdev] LLVM and C++

Hi

I want to use LLVM to generate a code working with C++ objects.

I've got basics of LLVM IR generation from Kaleidoscope and other tutorials.
Then I tried to llvm-dis'assemble llvm-gcc'ompiled C++ program and I see
how to generate all this strangely named functions and how to run
constructors and destructors. So I can imagine how to generate C++
compatible code with LLVM. But it seems to be a bit tricky...
So I'm interested is there a simpler way?

Thanks for any suggestions

The easiest way is to wrap construction/destruction/operations in C  
functions
and then call those - or compile them the .ll and inline them as  
appropriate
etc.
