llvm dev - Jun 2013 - [LLVMdev] Raising inline-asm blocks

Hello,

According to the notes in [1] there was a plan to raise inline assembly
blocks to the level of LLVM intrinsics or 'actual' LLVM IR. Is anyone
aware
of progress in this area?
I'm aware that a complete solution in general is unlikely but a partial
solution (that handles a subset of instructions directly mappable to the
LLVM IR AST) could be very relevant.

Thanks in advance,
Marcelo

As far as I know there aren't any plans to do this any time soon. Do
you have a specific need?
