llvm dev - Mar 2014 - [LLVMdev] Contributing the Apple ARM64 compiler backend

I agree (with my AArch64 maintainer hat on).

The goal of merging these two backends will hopefully do a lot to make
sure the eventual code is better than what exists now in either
individual directory; and doing the real work towards that will be
*much* easier when both are in-tree.

Tim.

Indeed, getting #1 done (importing the ARM64 backend into the public tree)
right away seems the right thing to do.

Thanks,

Kristof

I just tried to apply the patches to the community clang and llvm tips and
there are conflicts.

Do you guys plan to rebase the patches?

I vote for importing the ARM64 backend into the public tree as soon as
possible.

Thanks,
Ana.
