llvm dev - Apr 2011 - [LLVMdev] Assembler and linker

Hi,

Since LLVM does not contain an assembler and linker to generate native code, do
people have to write their own assembler if the target is different from the
host? Or did I misunderstand something?
Thanks.

1) With the MC project LLVM has integrated assemblers for some targets.

2) You should be able to run the target assembler on the host,
assuming it's portable.
